许愿的条例

27 耶和华对摩西说: “你把以下条例告诉以色列人。

“如果有人许下特别的愿,以付身价的方式奉献一个人给耶和华,就要为被奉献者估定身价。 以圣所的秤为准,要为二十至六十岁的男子估价五百五十克银子, 女子则估价三百三十克银子; 五至二十岁的男子估价二百二十克银子,女子则估价一百一十克银子; 满月至五岁的男子估价五十五克银子,女子则估价三十三克银子; 六十岁以上的男子估价一百六十五克银子,女子则估价一百一十克银子。 如果许愿的人因贫穷而负担不起,就要把他带到祭司面前,祭司要按他的能力另行估价。

“如果有人许愿献牲畜给耶和华作供物,所献的牲畜就会成为圣物。 10 不可更换所献的牲畜,不可以坏换好,也不可以好换坏。如果更换,两头牲畜都会成为圣物。 11 如果许愿献的是不洁净的牲畜,即不能献给耶和华作供物的牲畜,那人就要把牲畜带到祭司面前, 12 由祭司评定它的好坏,祭司估价多少就是多少。 13 那人如果有意赎回,必须支付祭司估定的价值,再加付五分之一。

14 “如果有人把房子献给耶和华,祭司就要评定房子的好坏,祭司估价多少就是多少。 15 那人如果想赎回房子,必须支付祭司估定的价值,再加付五分之一,房子便仍归他所有。

16 “如果有人把自己继承的部分土地献给耶和华,祭司就要按照土地的播种量来估价,撒二十公斤大麦种子的土地值五百五十克银子。 17 如果有人在禧年奉献土地,所估的价便是定价。 18 如果是在禧年以后献的,祭司要按照距下个禧年的年数来估价,估价要逐年减低。 19 如果那人想赎回所献的土地,要在估价的基础上加付五分之一,土地便仍归他所有。 20 他如果没有赎回土地,而是卖给别人,便再也不能赎回。 21 到了禧年,那土地要像永远献给耶和华的土地一样归耶和华,成为祭司的产业。

22 “如果献给耶和华的土地不是自己的产业,而是买来的, 23 祭司就要按照距下个禧年的年数来估价。那人要当天付清地价,地价归耶和华。 24 到了禧年,他要把所献的土地归还原主。 25 所有价银的称量要以圣所的秤为准,即二十季拉为一舍客勒[a]

26 “洁净牲畜的头胎,无论是牛是羊,已经属于耶和华,任何人不可再把它献给耶和华。 27 如果是不洁净牲畜的头胎,他可以在祭司的估价基础上,加付五分之一把它赎回;如果不赎回,就要按估价把它卖掉。 28 凡永远献上的[b],不论是人、牲畜或是田产,都不可卖掉,也不可赎回,因为这一切都属于耶和华,是至圣的。 29 凡永远献上的人不可被赎回,必须被处死。

30 “土地的所有出产中,不论是谷物还是树上的果实,十分之一属于耶和华,是圣物。 31 如果有人想从那十分之一中赎回一部分,他要加付估价的五分之一。 32 至于牛羊,要让它们从牧人的杖下经过,每数十只,第十只属于耶和华,是圣物。 33 不论是好是坏,不可挑拣,不可更换。如果更换,两只都要归耶和华,不可赎回。”

34 以上是耶和华在西奈山上借摩西向以色列人颁布的诫命。

27 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation.

And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the Lord, all that any man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy.

10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, then he shall present the beast before the priest:

12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.

13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the Lord, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the Lord some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

22 And if a man sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.

24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the Lord's.

27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.

29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord.

31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.

33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

34 These are the commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
