Berean Study BibleInternational Standard Version
1Then the LORD said to Moses,1The LORD told Moses,
2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When someone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the value of persons,2"Tell the Israelis that when a person makes a special vow based on the appropriate value of people who belong to the LORD,
3if the valuation concerns a male from twenty to sixty years of age, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.3if your valuation of the vow is for a male from 20 to 60 years old, the valuation is to be 50 shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
4Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.4If she is a female from 20 to 60 years old, then your valuation is to be 30 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
5And if the person is from five to twenty years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.5If a person is from five to 20 years, then your valuation for a male is to be 20 shekels and for a female ten shekels.
6Now if the person is from one month to five years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be five shekels of silver, and for the female three shekels of silver.6If a person is from one month to five years old, then your valuation for a male is to be five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation is to be three shekels of silver.
7And if the person is sixty years of age or older, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female.7If a person is 60 or more years old, then your valuation for a male is to be fifteen shekels and for a female ten shekels.
8But if the one making the vow is too poor to pay the valuation, he is to present the person before the priest, who shall set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford.8But if he is too poor to be valuated, then cause him to stand before the priest and let the priest set a value on him according to the ability of the one making the vow.
9If he vows an animal that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any such animal given to the LORD shall be holy.9"If it's an animal from which they make an offering to the LORD, everything that he gives to the LORD from it will be holy.
10He must not replace it or exchange it, either good for bad or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy.10He is not to substitute it or exchange it—the good with the bad or the bad with the good. If he ever makes an exchange of an animal for an animal, then it and what's being exchanged is holy.
11But if the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the LORD, the animal must be presented before the priest.11If any animal is unclean, which cannot be brought to the LORD as an offering, make the animal stand in the presence of the priest,
12The priest shall set its value, whether high or low; as the priest values it, the price will be set.12then the priest will evaluate it as to whether it is good or bad. According to your—that is, the priest's—valuation, so it is to be.
13If, however, the owner decides to redeem the animal, he must add a fifth to its value.13If a kinsman redeemer decides to redeem it, then he is to add a fifth to your valuation."
14Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it either as good or bad. The price will stand just as the priest values it.14"If a person consecrates his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest is to set a value for it as to its worth, whether good or bad. As the priest sets value on it, so it will stand.
15But if he who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will belong to him.15And if he that consecrated it wishes to redeem his house, he is to add one fifth to your valuation, after which it is to belong to him.
16If a man consecrates to the LORD a parcel of his land, then your valuation shall be proportional to the seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver for every homer of barley seed.16"If a person consecrates to the LORD a portion of the field from his inheritance, then your valuation is to be based on its capacity for yielding a harvest. Each omer of barley is to be valued at 50 shekels of silver.
17If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your valuation.17If he consecrates his field in the year of jubilee, it is to be based on your valuation.
18But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest is to calculate the price in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your valuation will be reduced.18If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, then the priest is to account to him the silver according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, with a deduction corresponding to your valuation.
19And if the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it shall belong to him.19"If the one who consecrated the field intends to redeem it, then he is to add one fifth of your valuation to it in silver, then it is to be established as his.
20If, however, he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed.20But if he won't redeem the field, but instead sells it to another person, then it is not to be redeemed anymore.
21When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the LORD; it becomes the property of the priests.21When the field is released in the jubilee, it will be holy to the LORD. As a field that's devoted, it is to belong to the priest as his inheritance.
22Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property,22If he consecrates a field that he had bought and that isn't part of his inheritance,
23then the priest shall calculate for him the value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the man shall pay the assessed value on that day as a sacred offering to the LORD.23then the priest is to account to him the evaluated worth until the year of jubilee. Then he is to give the amount of valuation on that day as a holy gift to the LORD.
24In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought—the original owner of the land.24During the year of jubilee, the field is to be returned by the one who originally sold it—that is, to the owner of the land.
25Every valuation will be according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.25Every valuation is to be according to the shekel of the sanctuary, evaluated at 20 gerahs to the shekel.
26But no one may consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, because a firstborn belongs to the LORD. Whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.26"No person is to consecrate the firstborn, because the firstborn of the animals already belongs to the LORD. Whether ox or goat, it belongs to the LORD.
27But if it is among the unclean animals, then he may redeem it according to your valuation and add a fifth of its value. If it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.27If it's an unclean animal, then he is to ransom it according to your valuation, adding a fifth to it. If it's not redeemed, then it is to be sold according to your valuation.
28Nothing that a man sets apart to the LORD from all he owns—whether a man, an animal, or his inherited land—can be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.28However, any devoted thing that a person consecrates to the LORD from what he owns—whether man, animals, or inherited fields—is not to be sold or redeemed. Any devoted thing is most sacred. It belongs to the LORD.
29No person set apart for destruction may be ransomed; he must surely be put to death.29But anyone who is completely devoted from among human beings is not to be ransomed. He is certainly to be put to death.
30Thus any tithe from the land, whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.30"Any tithes of the land—from grain grown on the land or from fruit grown on the trees—belong to the LORD. They are sacred to the LORD.
31If a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.31But if a person wishes to redeem his tithe, he is to add a fifth to it.
32Every tenth animal from the herd or flock that passes under the shepherd’s rod will be holy to the LORD.32All the tithes from cattle and flocks that pass under the measuring rod are sacred to the LORD.
33He must not inspect whether it is good or bad, and he shall not make any substitution. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute shall become holy; they cannot be redeemed.’ ”33He is not to examine it to see if it's good or bad or even exchange it. If he does exchange it, what has been exchanged as well as its substitute is sacred. It is not to be redeemed."
34These are the commandments that the LORD gave to Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.34These are the commands that the LORD commanded Moses to deliver to the Israelis on Mount Sinai.
