5 If he is between five and twenty years old, then the male sex is estimated at twenty shekels, and the female at ten[967].

6 If the initiate is from one month of life to five years, the boy should be valued at five silver shekels and the girl at three[968].

7And if sixty years of age or more, then you shall value a man at fifteen shekels and a woman at ten shekels.

8But if someone is too poor to pay according to your estimate, bring the person to be ordained to the priest, and then he will be obliged to assess his capabilities, taking into account the wealth of the one who makes the vow.

About the redemption of an animal

9If a vow is made for an animal that is usually sacrificed to the Lord, then every animal given to the Lord becomes holy. 10 Such an animal can no longer be replaced by anything else, the good by the bad and the bad by the good. If someone replaces one animal with another, both creatures will become holy. 11 If the animal is unclean, such as is not sacrificed to the Lord, it is to be brought before the priest, 12 and the priest will determine its average value. As the priest evaluates, so it will be. 13But if anyone wants to redeem this beast, he must add a fifth of it to this valuation.

On the redemption of property

14 But if anyone wants to dedicate his house, to make it holy to the Lord, then the priest is obliged to evaluate this house, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates, so it will be. 15But if the one who dedicates the property wishes to redeem his house, let him add a fifth of the said value to the valuation, and then the house will be his again.

16But when a man wishes to dedicate something to the Lord from his ancestral property, you will have to evaluate it according to how much grain can be sown there. For a homer of barley sown, fifty silver shekels.

17It happens that a man wishes to make his field a holy place in the year of jubilee, the same value will be preserved according to your estimate. 18And if anyone wishes to declare his field holy after the year of jubilee, the priest shall calculate the value of that field according to the years until the next year of jubilee,[971] and reduce the value determined by you.

19But if he who dedicates his field wishes to redeem it for himself, he must add to the redemption a fifth of the price of that field, and it will be his. 20But if he does not redeem the fields before the jubilee year, or sells them to another, he will not be able to redeem them again. 21In the year of jubilee, the rights to this field will be lost[972]a by both the former owner and his buyer, it will become holy to the Lord, as a field irrevocably given to Him[973]b; it will pass to the priest and will be his property.

22 If a person wishes to dedicate to the Lord not his own, ancestral field, but a field that he once bought, 23the priest will calculate its value according to the time remaining until the next jubilee year, and the person must pay the cost of the field that has become holy to the Lord on the spot. 24In the year of jubilee, that field shall be restored to the one from whom it was purchased, and whose ancestral property it was before. 25Everything is to be evaluated in shekels, which are in circulation in the Sanctuary, in each of which there are twenty gers.

About the redemption of firstborns

26No one shall dedicate the firstborn of the cattle, which already belongs to the Lord: the first offspring of the cattle, whether it is a young ox or a lamb, is the Lord's. 27But if it is an unclean animal, the owner may redeem it at the price you have set for it, adding a fifth of it to the price. An animal that the owner has not bought must be sold for its own price.
