27 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und sprach:

Rede mit den Kindern Israel und sprich zu ihnen: Wenn jemand ein besonderes Gelübde tut, also daß du seinen Leib schätzen mußt,

so soll dies eine Schätzung sein: ein Mannsbild, zwanzig Jahre alt bis ins sechzigste Jahr, sollst du schätzen auf fünfzig Silberlinge nach dem Lot des Heiligtums,

ein Weibsbild auf dreißig Silberlinge.

Von fünf Jahren an bis auf zwanzig Jahre sollst du ihn schätzen auf zwanzig Silberlinge, wenn's ein Mannsbild ist, ein Weibsbild aber auf zehn Silberlinge.

Von einem Monat an bis auf fünf Jahre sollst du ihn schätzen auf fünf Silberlinge, wenn's ein Mannsbild ist, ein Weibsbild aber auf drei Silberlinge.

Ist er aber sechzig Jahre alt und darüber, so sollst du ihn schätzen auf fünfzehn Silberlinge, wenn's ein Mannsbild ist, ein Weibsbild aber auf zehn Silberlinge.

Ist er aber zu arm zu solcher Schätzung, so soll er sich vor den Priester stellen, und der Priester soll ihn schätzen; er soll ihn aber schätzen, nach dem die Hand des, der gelobt hat, erwerben kann.

Ist's aber ein Vieh, das man dem HERRN opfern kann: alles, was man davon dem HERRN gibt ist heilig.

10 Man soll's nicht wechseln noch wandeln, ein gutes um ein böses, oder ein böses um ein gutes. Wird's aber jemand wechseln, ein Vieh um das andere, so sollen sie beide dem HERRN heilig sein.

11 Ist aber das Tier unrein, daß man's dem HERRN nicht opfern darf, so soll man's vor den Priester stellen,

12 und der Priester soll's schätzen, ob es gut oder böse sei; und es soll bei des Priesters Schätzung bleiben.

13 Will's aber jemand lösen, der soll den Fünften über die Schätzung geben.

14 Wenn jemand sein Haus heiligt, daß es dem HERRN heilig sei, das soll der Priester schätzen, ob's gut oder böse sei; und darnach es der Priester schätzt, so soll's bleiben.

15 So es aber der, so es geheiligt hat, will lösen, so soll er den fünften Teil des Geldes, zu dem es geschätzt ist, draufgeben, so soll's sein werden.

16 Wenn jemand ein Stück Acker von seinem Erbgut dem HERRN heiligt, so soll es geschätzt werden nach der Aussaat. Ist die Aussaat ein Homer Gerste, so soll es fünfzig Silberlinge gelten.

17 Heiligt er seinen Acker vom Halljahr an, so soll er nach seinem Wert gelten.

18 Hat er ihn aber nach dem Halljahr geheiligt, so soll der Priester das Geld berechnen nach den übrigen Jahren zum Halljahr und ihn darnach geringer schätzen.

19 Will aber der, so ihn geheiligt hat, den Acker lösen, so soll er den fünften Teil des Geldes, zu dem er geschätzt ist, draufgeben, so soll er sein werden.

20 Will er ihn aber nicht lösen, sondern verkauft ihn einem andern, so soll er ihn nicht mehr lösen können;

21 sondern derselbe Acker, wenn er im Halljahr frei wird, soll dem HERRN heilig sein wie ein verbannter Acker und soll des Priesters Erbgut sein.

22 Wenn aber jemand dem HERRN einen Acker heiligt, den er gekauft hat und der nicht sein Erbgut ist,

23 so soll der Priester berechnen, was er gilt bis an das Halljahr; und soll desselben Tages solche Schätzung geben, daß sie dem HERRN heilig sei.

24 Aber im Halljahr soll er wieder gelangen an den, von dem er ihn gekauft hat, daß sein Erbgut im Lande sei.

25 Alle Schätzung soll geschehen nach dem Lot des Heiligtums; ein Lot aber hat zwanzig Gera.

26 Die Erstgeburt unter dem Vieh, die dem HERRN sonst gebührt, soll niemand dem HERRN heiligen, es sei ein Ochs oder Schaf; denn es ist des HERRN.

27 Ist es aber unreines Vieh, so soll man's lösen nach seinem Werte, und darübergeben den Fünften. Will er's aber nicht lösen, so verkaufe man's nach seinem Werte.

28 Man soll kein Verbanntes verkaufen noch lösen, das jemand dem HERRN verbannt von allem, was sein ist, es seien Menschen, Vieh oder Erbacker; denn alles verbannte ist ein Hochheiliges dem HERRN.

29 Man soll auch keinen verbannten Menschen lösen, sondern er soll des Todes sterben.

30 Alle Zehnten im Lande von Samen des Landes und von Früchten der Bäume sind des HERRN und sollen dem HERRN heilig sein.

31 Will aber jemand seinen Zehnten lösen, der soll den Fünften darübergeben.

32 Und alle Zehnten von Rindern und Schafen, von allem, was unter dem Hirtenstabe geht, das ist ein heiliger Zehnt dem HERRN.

33 Man soll nicht fragen, ob's gut oder böse sei; man soll's auch nicht wechseln. Wird's aber jemand wechseln, so soll's beides heilig sein und nicht gelöst werden.

34 Dies sind die Gebote, die der HERR dem Mose gebot an die Kinder Israel auf dem Berge Sinai.

Redeeming What Is the Lord’s

27 The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow(A) to dedicate a person to the Lord by giving the equivalent value, set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels[a] of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel[b];(B) for a female, set her value at thirty shekels[c]; for a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels[d](C) and of a female at ten shekels[e]; for a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels[f](D) of silver and that of a female at three shekels[g] of silver; for a person sixty years old or more, set the value of a male at fifteen shekels[h] and of a female at ten shekels. If anyone making the vow is too poor to pay(E) the specified amount, the person being dedicated is to be presented to the priest, who will set the value(F) according to what the one making the vow can afford.

“‘If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord,(G) such an animal given to the Lord becomes holy.(H) 10 They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one;(I) if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy. 11 If what they vowed is a ceremonially unclean animal(J)—one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord—the animal must be presented to the priest, 12 who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be. 13 If the owner wishes to redeem(K) the animal, a fifth must be added to its value.(L)

14 “‘If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the Lord, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain. 15 If the one who dedicates their house wishes to redeem it,(M) they must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become theirs.

16 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver to a homer[i] of barley seed. 17 If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains. 18 But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee,(N) the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain(O) until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced. 19 If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it,(P) they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs. 20 If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed. 21 When the field is released in the Jubilee,(Q) it will become holy,(R) like a field devoted to the Lord;(S) it will become priestly property.

22 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land, 23 the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee,(T) and the owner must pay its value on that day as something holy to the Lord. 24 In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought,(U) the one whose land it was. 25 Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel,(V) twenty gerahs(W) to the shekel.

26 “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord;(X) whether an ox[j] or a sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 If it is one of the unclean animals,(Y) it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value.

28 “‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes[k](Z) to the Lord—whether a human being or an animal or family land—may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy(AA) to the Lord.

29 “‘No person devoted to destruction[l] may be ransomed; they are to be put to death.(AB)

30 “‘A tithe(AC) of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy(AD) to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem(AE) any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value(AF) to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod(AG)—will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution.(AH) If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.(AI)’”

34 These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai(AJ) for the Israelites.(AK)

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.
