Leviticus 27:1-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2. “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘When a man makes a vow according to your proper value of persons to Yahweh,

3. if your proper value is for a male from twenty years of age up to sixty years of age, then your proper value shall be fifty shekels of money according to the sanctuary’s shekel.

4. But if it is for a female, then your proper value shall be thirty shekels.

5. And if from five years of age up to twenty years of age, then your proper value shall be twenty shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female.

6. And if from a month of age up to five years of age, then your proper value shall be five shekels of money for the male, and your proper value for the female shall be three shekels of money.

7. And if from sixty years of age and above: if a male, then your proper value shall be fifteen shekels; and for the female, ten shekels.

8. But if he is poorer than your proper value, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall set a value on him; the priest shall value him according to what the person who made a vow can afford.

9. “ ‘And if it is a domestic animal from which they present an offering for Yahweh, all that he gives from it for Yahweh shall be a holy object.

10. He shall not replace it, nor shall he exchange it, either good with bad or bad with good; and if he indeed exchanges a domestic animal with a domestic animal, then it and its substitution shall be a holy object.

11. But if it is any unclean animal from which they may not present an offering for Yahweh, then he shall present the animal before the priest.
