I am Yahweh.'"
026:046 These are the statutes, ordinances and laws, which Yahweh made
between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
027:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
027:002 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'When a man
makes a vow, the persons shall be for Yahweh by your valuation.
027:003 Your valuation shall be of a male from twenty years old even
to sixty years old, even your valuation shall be fifty shekels
of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
027:004 If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
027:005 If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old,
then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels,
and for a female ten shekels.
027:006 If the person is from a month old even to five years old,
then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver,
and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
027:007 If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if it
is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels,
and for a female ten shekels.
027:008 But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set
before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to
the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him.
027:009 "'If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to Yahweh,
all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy.
027:010 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad
for a good: and if he shall at all change animal for animal,
then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.
027:011 If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer
as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal
before the priest;
027:012 and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad.
As you the priest values it, so shall it be.
027:013 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth
part of it to its valuation.
027:014 "'When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Yahweh,
then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad:
as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand.
027:015 If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall
add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it,
and it shall be his.
027:016 "'If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession,
then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it:
the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty
shekels of silver.
027:017 If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee,
according to your valuation it shall stand.
027:018 But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest
shall reckon to him the money according to the years that
remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made
from your valuation.
027:019 If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall
add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it,
and it shall remain his.
027:020 If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field
to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;
027:021 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy
to Yahweh, as a field devoted; it shall be owned by the priests.
027:022 "'If he dedicates to Yahweh a field which he has bought,
which is not of the field of his possession,
027:023 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation
up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation
on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh.
027:024 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from
whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession
of the land belongs.
027:025 All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of
the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
027:026 "'Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn
to Yahweh, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep,
it is Yahweh's.
027:027 If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according
to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it:
or if it isn't redeemed, then it shall be sold according
to your valuation.
027:028 "'Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote
to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal,
or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed:
every devoted thing is most holy to Yahweh.
027:029 "'No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men,
shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
027:030 "'All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land
or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh's. It is holy to Yahweh.
027:031 If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth
part to it.
027:032 All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes
under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh.
027:033 He shall not search whether it is good or bad,
neither shall he change it: and if he changes it at all,
then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.
It shall not be redeemed.'"
027:034 These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses
for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
