Context
Redemption of Vowed People
27:1 The Lord spoke to Moses :
27:2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When a man makes a special votive offering based on the conversion value of persons to the Lord ,
27:3 the conversion value of the male from twenty years old up to sixty years old is fifty shekels by the standard of the sanctuary shekel .
27:4 If the person is a female , the conversion value is thirty shekels .
27:5 If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old , the conversion value of the male is twenty shekels , and for the female ten shekels .
27:6 If the person is one month old up to five years old , the conversion value of the male is five shekels of silver , and for the female the conversion value is three shekels of silver .
27:7 If the person is from sixty years old and older , if he is a male the conversion value is fifteen shekels , and for the female ten shekels .
27:8 If he is too poor to pay the conversion value , he must stand the person before the priest and the priest will establish his conversion value ; according to what the man who made the vow can afford , the priest will establish his conversion value .
Redemption of Vowed Animals
27:9 “‘If what is vowed is a kind of animal from which an offering may be presented to the Lord , anything which he gives to the Lord from this kind of animal will be holy .
27:10 He must not replace or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good , and if he does indeed exchange one animal for another animal , then both the original animal and its substitute will be holy .
27:11 If what is vowed is an unclean animal from which an offering must not be presented to the Lord , then he must stand the animal before the priest ,
27:12 and the priest will establish its conversion value , whether good or bad . According to the assessed conversion value of the priest , thus it will be .
27:13 If , however, the person who made the vow redeems the animal, he must add one fifth to its conversion value .
Redemption of Vowed Houses
27:14 “‘If a man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord , the priest will establish its conversion value, whether good or bad . Just as the priest establishes its conversion value, thus it will stand .
