KJ3 Literal Translation
Leviticus 27
1 He that makes a singular vow must be the Lord’s. 2 The evaluation of the person. 9 Of a beast given by vow. 14 Of a house. 16 Of a field, and its redemption. 32 The tithe may not be changed.
1¶ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When a man makes an extraordinary vow by your evaluation, the persons shall be Jehovah's.
3And your evaluation shall be of the male from a son of twenty years even until a son of sixty years; then your evaluation shall be fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the sanctuary.
4And if it is a female, then your evaluation shall be thirty shekels.
5And if from a son of five years to a son of twenty years, then your evaluation shall be twenty shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female.
6And if a son of a month even to a son of five years, then your evaluation shall be five shekels of silver for the male and three shekels of silver for the female.
7And if from a son of sixty years and above, if a male, then your evaluation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
8But if he is too poor for your evaluation, then he shall be made to stand before the priest, and the priest shall value him; the priest shall value him according to the reach of him who vowed.
9And if it is an animal of which they bring an offering to Jehovah, all that one gives of it to Jehovah is holy.
10He shall not replace it, or 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.
11And if any unclean animal, or one which they may not bring as an offering to Jehovah, then he shall make the animal stand before the priest.
12And the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; as you the priest values it, so it shall be.
13But if he really redeems it, then he shall add its fifth to your evaluation.
14¶ And when a man sanctifies his house as a holy thing to Jehovah, then the priest shall value it, whether good or bad. As the priest values it, so it shall stand.
15And if he who is sanctifying shall redeem the house, then he shall add a fifth of the silver of its valuation, and it shall become his.
16And if a man sanctifies a field of his property to Jehovah, then your evaluation by mouth shall be of its seed; a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.
17If he shall sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, it shall stand according to your evaluation.
18And if he shall sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall count to him the silver according to the years which are left, to the year of the Jubilee. And it shall be diminished from your evaluation.
19And if he sanctifying the field really will redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and it shall rise to become his.
20And if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is not to be redeemed any more.
21And the field shall be holy to Jehovah when it goes out in the Jubilee, as a field which is devoted. It shall be a possession to the priest.
22And if he should devote a field of his purchase, which is not of the fields of his possession,
23then the priest shall count to him the amount of your evaluation to the year of the Jubilee. And he shall give your evaluation in that day, a holy thing to Jehovah.
24In the year of the Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom he bought it, to whom the land is a possession.
25And all your evaluation shall be by the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
26However a firstling which is first-born to Jehovah among animals, a man shall not dedicate it,whether an ox or a sheep, it is Jehovah's.
27And if it is among the unclean animals, then shall ransom at your evaluation, and he shall add its fifth to it, and if not it is redeemed, it shall be sold at your evaluation.
28But any devoted thing which a man devotes to Jehovah of all which is his, of man, or of animal, of the field of his possession, it shall not be sold and not redeemed; every devoted thing it is most holy to Jehovah.
29Not any devoted thing which is devoted by men shall not be ransomed, dying it shall die.
30And all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the trees,, it is for Jehovah; it is most holy to Jehovah.
31And if at all a man redeems any of his tithes, he shall add its fifth to it.
32And all the tithe of the land, and of the flock, all that passes under the rod, a tenth shall be holy to Jehovah.
33He shall not inquire between good or bad, nor shall he change it; and if at all he changes it, then it and its substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
34These are the commands which Jehovah has commanded Moses for the sons of Israel on Mount Sinai.
