And God spoke to Moses, saying,
“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘A man when he makes extraordinary a vow, by your valuation of persons to God,
and your valuation of the male from a son of 20 years and until a son of 60 years will be {thus}, and your valuation will be 50 shekels of silver by the shekel of the holy place.
And if {it is} a female, then your valuation will be 30 shekels.
And if {it is} from a son of five years and until a son of 20 years, then your valuation will be {for} the male 20 shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
And if from a son of a month and until a son of five years, then your valuation will be {for} the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your valuation {will be} three shekels of silver.
And if from a son of 60 years and upward, if a male, then your valuation will be 15 shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
And if he is too poor from your valuation, then he shall stand him before the face of the priest, and the priest shall value him. Upon the mouth of what the hand of the one vowing can reach, the priest shall value him. \*
And if {it is} an animal which they will present from it an offering to God, all which he will give from it to God will be holy.
He shall not exchange it and he shall not substitute it, good with bad or bad with good. And if substituting, he substitutes animal with animal, then it shall be {that} it and its substitute shall be holy.
And if {it is} any unclean animal which they shall not present from it a present to God, then he shall stand the animal to the face of the priest,
and the priest shall value it between good and between bad. According to your valuation, O priest, so it shall be.
And if redeeming he will redeem it, then he shall add its fifth upon your valuation. \*
And a man when he consecrates his house holy to God, then the priest will value it between good and between bad. Just as the priest will value it, so it will stand.
And if the one consecrating would redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of the silver of your valuation upon it, and it will be to him. \*
And if from the field of his possession a man consecrates to God, then your valuation will be to the mouth of its seed, seed of a homer of barley at 50 shekels of silver.
If from the year of the jubilee he consecrates his field, according to your valuation it will stand.
But if after the jubilee he consecrates his field, then the priest shall calculate for him the silver upon the mouth of the years remaining until the year of the jubilee, and it shall be subtracted from your valuation.
And if redeeming he will redeem the field, the one consecrating it, then he shall add a fifth of the silver of your valuation upon it, and it will stand to him.
And if he does not redeem the field, and if he sells the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed again.
And the field shall be, in its going out in the Jubilee, holy to God, as a field of devotion. It shall be to the priest, his possession. \*
And if he consecrates to God a field of his purchase which {is} not from the field of his possession,
then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation until the year of the jubilee, and he shall give your valuation in that day. {It shall be} holy to God.
In the year of the jubilee the field will return to him from whom he bought it, to whom to him {is} the possession of the land.
And all your valuation shall be by the shekel of the holy place; the shekel shall be 20 gerahs. \*
However, a firstborn (which firstborn {belongs} to God) among animals, a man shall not consecrate it, whether ox or sheep, it {belongs} to God.
And if {it is} among the unclean animals, then he shall ransom {it} by your valuation and add its fifth upon it. And if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold at your valuation. \*
However, any devoted thing which a man will devote to God from all which {belongs} to him, from man and animal and from field of his possession, it shall not be sold and it shall not be redeemed. Every devoted thing, it {is} a holy thing of holy things to God.
All devoted ones who are devoted to destruction from mankind shall not be ransomed; dying he shall be put to death. \*
And all tithe of the land from the seed of the land, from the fruit of the tree, {belongs} to God. It {is} holy to God.
And if redeeming, a man will redeem from his tithe, its fifth he shall add upon it.
And all tithe of cattle and flock, all which passes under the rod, the tenth will be holy to God.
He shall not examine between good to bad, and he shall not substitute it. And if substituting, he substitutes it, then it shall be {that} it and its substitute shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”
These {are} the commandments which God commanded Moses to the sons of Israel on Mount Sinai.
