Rules about Valuations 1 UEB Yahweh spoke to Moses and said, BSB BSB: Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 UEB "Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'If anyone makes a special vow to Yahweh, use the following valuations. BSB BSB: “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When someone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the value of persons,
3 UEB Your standard value for a male from twenty to sixty years old must be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. BSB BSB: if 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.
4 UEB For a female of the same ages your standard value must be thirty shekels. BSB BSB: Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
5 UEB From five years to twenty years old your standard value for a male must be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. BSB BSB: And 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.
6 UEB From one month old to five years your standard value for a male must be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels of silver. BSB BSB: Now 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.
7 UEB From sixty years old and up for a male your standard value must be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. BSB BSB: And 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.
8 UEB But if the person making the vow cannot pay the standard value, then the person being given must be presented to the priest, and the priest will value that person by the amount the one making the vow is able to afford. BSB BSB: But 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.
9 UEB If someone wants to sacrifice an animal to Yahweh, and if Yahweh accepts it, then that animal will be set apart to him. BSB BSB: If he vows an animal that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any such animal given to the LORD shall be holy.
10 UEB The person must not alter or change such an animal, a good one for a bad one or a bad for a good. If he does at all change one animal for another, then both it and the one for which it is exchanged become holy. BSB BSB: He 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.
11 UEB However, if what the person has vowed to give Yahweh is in fact unclean, so that Yahweh will not accept it, then the person must bring the animal to a priest. BSB BSB: But 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.
12 UEB The priest will value it, by the market value of the animal. Whatever value the priest places on the animal, that will be its value. BSB BSB: The priest shall set its value, whether high or low; as the priest values it, the price will be set.
13 UEB If the owner wishes to redeem it, then a fifth of its value is to be added to its redemption price. BSB BSB: If, however, the owner decides to redeem the animal, he must add a fifth to its value.
14 UEB When a man sets apart his house as a holy gift to Yahweh, then the priest will set its value as either good or bad. Whatever the priest values it, so it will be. BSB BSB: Now 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.
15 UEB But if the owner who set apart his home wishes to redeem it, he must add a fifth of its value to its redemption price, and it will belong to him. BSB BSB: But if he who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will belong to him.
16 UEB If a man sets apart some of his own land, then the valuation of it will be in proportion to the amount of seed required to plant it—a homer of barley will be valued at fifty shekels of silver. BSB BSB: If 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.
17 UEB If he sets apart his field during the year of Jubilee, the valuation of it will stand. BSB BSB: If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your valuation.
18 UEB But if he sets apart his field after the year of Jubilee, then the priest must calculate the value of the field by the number of years that remain until the next year of Jubilee, and the valuation of it must be reduced. BSB BSB: But 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.
19 UEB If the man who set apart the field wishes to redeem it, then he must add a fifth to the valuation, and it will belong to him. BSB BSB: And 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.
20 UEB If he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it cannot be redeemed any more. BSB BSB: If, however, he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed.
21 UEB Instead, the field, when it is released in the year of Jubilee, will be a holy gift to Yahweh, like the field that has been completely given to Yahweh. It will belong to the priest. BSB BSB: When 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.
22 UEB If a man sets apart a field that he has bought, but that field is not part of his family's land, BSB BSB: Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property,
23 UEB then the priest will figure the valuation of it up to the year of Jubilee, and the man must pay its value on that day as a holy gift to Yahweh. BSB BSB: then 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.
24 UEB In the year of Jubilee, the field will return to the man from whom it was bought, to the land's owner. BSB BSB: In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought—the original owner of the land.
25 UEB All the valuations must be set by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. Twenty gerahs must be the equivalent of one shekel. BSB BSB: Every valuation will be according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26 UEB No one may set apart the firstborn among animals, since the firstborn already belongs to Yahweh; whether ox or sheep, it is Yahweh's. BSB BSB: But 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.
27 UEB If it is an unclean animal, then the owner may buy it back at the valuation of it, and a fifth must be added to that value. If the animal is not redeemed, then it is to be sold at the set value. BSB BSB: But 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.
28 UEB But nothing that a man devotes to Yahweh, from all that he has, whether human or animal, or his family land, may be sold or redeemed. Everything that is devoted is very holy to Yahweh. BSB BSB: Nothing 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.
29 UEB No ransom may be paid for the person who is devoted for destruction. That person must be put to death. BSB BSB: No person set apart for destruction may be ransomed; he must surely be put to death.
Instruction on Tithes (Deuteronomy 14:22–29; Deuteronomy 26:1–15; Nehemiah 13:10–14)
30 UEB All the tithe of the land, whether grain grown on the land or fruit from the trees, is Yahweh's. It is holy to Yahweh. BSB BSB: Thus 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.
31 UEB If a man redeems any of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value. BSB BSB: If a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.
32 UEB As for every tenth of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the shepherd's rod, one-tenth must be set apart to Yahweh. BSB BSB: Every tenth animal from the herd or flock that passes under the shepherd’s rod will be holy to the LORD.
33 UEB The shepherd must not search for the better or the worse animals, and he must not substitute one for another. If he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed will be holy. It cannot be redeemed.'" BSB BSB: He 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.’”
34 UEB These are the commandments that Yahweh gave at Mount Sinai to Moses for the people of Israel. BSB BSB: These are the commandments that the LORD gave to Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
