1. The Lord spoke to Moses:
2. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When a man makes a special votive offering based on the conversion value of persons to the Lord,
3. the conversion value of the male from twenty years old up to sixty years old is fifty shekels by the standard of the sanctuary shekel.
4. If the person is a female, the conversion value is thirty shekels.
5. If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, the conversion value of the male is twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
6. If the person is one month old up to five years old, the conversion value of the male is five shekels of silver, and for the female the conversion value is three shekels of silver.
7. If the person is from sixty years old and older, if he is a male the conversion value is fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8. If he is too poor to pay the conversion value, he must stand the person before the priest and the priest will establish his conversion value; according to what the man who made the vow can afford, the priest will establish his conversion value.
9. “‘If what is vowed is a kind of animal from which an offering may be presented to the Lord, anything which he gives to the Lord from this kind of animal will be holy.
10. He must not replace or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good, and if he does indeed exchange one animal for another animal, then both the original animal and its substitute will be holy.
11. If what is vowed is an unclean animal from which an offering must not be presented to the Lord, then he must stand the animal before the priest,
12. and the priest will establish its conversion value, whether good or bad. According to the assessed conversion value of the priest, thus it will be.
13. If, however, the person who made the vow redeems the animal, he must add one fifth to its conversion value.
14. “‘If a man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, the priest will establish its conversion value, whether good or bad. Just as the priest establishes its conversion value, thus it will stand.
