¹And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,5 sermons²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation.3 sermons³And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.3 sermons⁴And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.4 sermons⁵And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.3 sermons⁶And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.3 sermons⁷And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.3 sermons⁸But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.2 sermons⁹And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the Lord, all that any man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy.2 sermons¹⁰He 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 beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.2 sermons¹¹And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, then he shall present the beast before the priest:2 sermons¹²And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.2 sermons¹³But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.2 sermons¹⁴And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the Lord, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.2 sermons¹⁵And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.2 sermons¹⁶And if a man shall sanctify unto the Lord some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.2 sermons¹⁷If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.2 sermons¹⁸But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.2 sermons¹⁹And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.2 sermons²⁰And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.2 sermons²¹But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.2 sermons²²And if a man sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;2 sermons²³Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.2 sermons²⁴In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.2 sermons²⁵And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.2 sermons²⁶Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord’s firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the Lord’s.2 sermons²⁷And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.2 sermons²⁸Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.2 sermons²⁹None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.2 sermons³⁰And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s: it is holy unto the Lord.2 sermons³¹And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.2 sermons³²And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.2 sermons³³He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.2 sermons³⁴These are the commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.2 sermons
