1. The Lord said to Moses,
2. Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When a person makes a solemn promise to the Lord involving the value of a person,
3. if it is the value for a male between 20 and 60 years old, his value is fifty silver shekels according to the sanctuary’s shekel.
4. If the person is a female, her value is thirty shekels.
5. If the age of the person is between 5 and 20 years, the value for a male is twenty shekels, for a female ten shekels.
6. If the age of the person is between one month and 5 years, the value for a male is five silver shekels, for a female three silver shekels.
7. If the age of the person is 60 years or more, the value is fifteen shekels if the person is male, ten shekels for a female.
8. But if financial difficulty prevents the promise maker from giving the full value, they must set the person before the priest. The priest will assign the person a value according to what the promise maker can afford.
