1And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:

2Speak with the sons of Israel, and say to them: When a man setteth apart a votive offering, (it shall be) by estimation of the life before the Lord.

3If it be the valuation for a male from twenty years to sixty years old, the valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, in the shekel of the sanctuary.

4And if a female, the valuation shall be thirty shekels.

5And if the age be from five years to twenty years, the valuation for a male shall be twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

6And if the age be from a month unto five years, the valuation for a male shall be twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels. And if the age be from a month unto five years, the valuation for a male shall be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels of silver shall be the valuation.

7But if (the age) be sixty years and upwards, for a male the valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

8But if he be too poor (for the sum of) his valuation, then he shall stand before the priest, and the priest shall make valuation for him upon the word of that which the hand of him who maketh the vow may possess; so shall the priest make his estimate.

9And if it be an animal of which (some portion) will be offered an oblation before the Lord, all that he giveth of it before the Lord shall be sacred;

10He shall not alter it or change it, good for bad, or bad for good; and if he will indeed change animal for animal, both it and that for which it is changed shall be sacred.

11And if it be any unclean animal, of which none may be offered an oblation before the Lord, he shall present the animal before the priest,

12And the priest shall value it, whether good or bad; according to the estimate of the priest so shall it be.

13Arid if he will redeem it, then he shall add the fifth upon its value.

14And when a man shall sanctify his house, to be consecrated before the Lord, the priest shall value it, whether good or bad; as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

15And if he who had consecrated it will redeem his house, then let him add the fifth of the price of its value upon it, and it shall be his.

16And if a man consecrate a field of his possession before the Lord, its valuation shall be according to (the quantity of) its seed; if sown with barley, a measure shall be (valued at) fifty shekels of silver.

17If he consecrate his field from the year of Jubilee, it shall stand according to its value.

18But if he consecrate his field after the year of Jubilee, the priest shall reckon the money with him according to the years which remain until the (next) year of Jubilee, and it shall be abated from the valuation.

19But if he will redeem the field that he had consecrated, let him add to it a fifth of its valuated price, and it shall be confirmed to him.

20But if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more:

21But the field, when it would have gone out at the Jubilee, shall be consecrated before the Lord as a field devoted (hekel cherema); the possession of it shall be to the priest.

22And if a man will consecrate before the Lord a field which he hath bought, and which is not of the fields of his inheritance,

23then the priest shall reckon the sum (receipt) of its value until the year of Jubilee, and he shall give the price of it in that day, a holy thing before the Lord.

24In the year of Jubilee the field shall return unto him who sold it, to whom the possession of the land had belonged.

25And every valuation shall be in the shekel of the sanctuary, twenty maheen before the Lord.

26Moreover, the first-born among cattle which is to be a firstling, before the Lord, no man may consecrate, whether ox or sheep; it is the Lord’s already.

27And if it be an unclean animal, then he shall redeem it according to its valuation, and add one fifth thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to its valuation.

28Nevertheless, no devoted thing which a man shall have devoted before the Lord of all that he hath of man or of beast and of the field of his possession may be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most sacred before the Lord.

29No devoted one who is devoted (or accursed) of men, (as the criminal doomed to death,) shall be redeemed; being slain, he shall be killed.

30And 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 sacred before the Lord.

31But if a man will redeem any of his tithe, a fifth shall be add upon it.

32And every tithing of oxen or sheep, whatever passeth under the tithing rod, shall be sacred before the Lord.

33He shall not choose between the good and bad, neither shall he change it. But if he will commute it, both it and that for which it was exchanged shall be consecrate, and not be redeemed.

34These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Mosheh for the children of Israel, in the mountain of Sinai.
