M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
27 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When someone shall make a special vow unto the LORD, according to the estimation of the persons that are to be redeemed, thus shall be thy estimation:
3 Regarding the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 And if it is a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5 And if it is 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.
6 And if it is 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.
7 And if it is from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8 But if he is poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of the one that vowed shall the priest value him.
9 And if it is an animal which is offered unto the LORD, all that anyone gives 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 exchange one animal for another, then it and the one exchanged thereof shall belong to the sanctuary.
11 And if it is an unclean animal, which cannot be offered as a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the animal before the priest;
12 and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; according to the estimation of the priest, so shall it be.
13 But if it must be redeemed, then they 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 value it, whether it is good or bad; as the priest shall value 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; one homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
17 If he sanctifies his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
18 But if he sanctifies his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain until the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
19 And if he that sanctified the field desires to 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 But if he should not redeem the field, and if the field is sold to another, it shall not be redeemed any more;
21 but the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field of anathema; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.
22 And if anyone sanctifies unto the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his inheritance,
23 then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation until the year of the jubilee; and that day he shall give thy assigned price, as a holy thing unto the LORD.
24 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto the one of whom it was bought, unto whom the inheritance of the land did belong.
25 And all thy values shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
26 ¶ But the firstborn of the animals, which because it is firstborn belongs to the LORD, no one shall sanctify it; whether it is ox or sheep, it is the LORD’s.
27 And if it is of an unclean beast, it shall be ransomed according to thy estimation, and they shall add a fifth part unto it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
28 But no anathema, that anyone shall devote unto the LORD of all that they have of men and animals and of the fields of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. All anathema is most holy unto the LORD.
29 Any anathema of men which is devoted shall not be ransomed, but shall surely be put to death.
30 And all the tithes of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s; it is holiness unto the LORD.
31 And if anyone desires to redeem anything of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
32 And concerning the tithe of the cows or of the sheep, even of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holiness unto the LORD.
33 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he changes 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 sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.

10 ¶ Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: likewise a small act of folly unto him that is esteemed for wisdom and honour.
2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.
3 Even when the fool walks by the way, he lacks prudence, and he says unto every one that he is a fool.
4 ¶ If the spirit of the ruler rises up against thee, do not leave thy place; for meekness pacifies great sins.
5 There is another evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceeds from the ruler:
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich are seated in a low place.
7 I saw slaves upon horses, and princes walking as slaves upon the earth.
8 He that digs a pit shall fall into it, and whosoever breaks a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
9 Whosoever moves the stones shall have tribulation along with it, and he that cuts the firewood shall be endangered by it.
10 If the iron is blunt, and he does not whet the edge, then he must put forth more strength, but the advantages of wisdom excel.
11 If the serpent bites without being enchanted, then the babbler is no more.
12 ¶ The words from the mouth of the wise man are grace, but the lips of the fool will swallow up himself.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
14 The fool multiplies words and says, Man cannot tell what shall be, and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
15 The labour of the foolish wearies all of them because they do not know how to go to the city.
16 ¶ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes banquet in the morning!
17 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18 By much slothfulness the building decays, and through idleness of the hands the rain drips throughout the house.
19 The banquet is made for pleasure, and wine makes merry; but money answers all things.
20 Do not curse the king, not even in thy thought; and do not curse the rich even in the secret place of thy bedchamber; for the birds of the air shall carry the voice, and those who have wings shall tell the matter.
2 ¶ But speak thou the things which are expedient unto sound doctrine,
2 that the aged men be temperate, venerable, prudent, sound in faith, in charity, in tolerance.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of honesty;
4 that they may teach the young women to be prudent, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be temperate, chaste, good housekeepers, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God not be blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be temperate;
7 in all things showing thyself as an example of good works, in doctrine showing integrity, seriousness, purity,
8 sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that the adversary may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort slaves to be subject to their own masters and to please them well in all things; not contradicting;
10 not defrauding, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 ¶ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
12 teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live temperately, righteously, and godly in this present world;
13 waiting for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,
14 who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a people of his own, zealous of good works.
15 ¶ These things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.
