Leviticus 27:5-20 God's Word Translation (GW)

5. For a boy from 5 to 20 years old, give 8 ounces and for a girl give 4 ounces.

6. For a boy from one month to five years old, give 2 ounces of silver and for a girl give about one ounce.

7. For a man 60 years or over, give 6 ounces and for a woman give 4 ounces.

8. But the person who is too poor to pay the required amount must stand in front of the priest. The priest will determine the amount based on what the person can afford.

9. “If ⌊the vow⌋ is to give the kind of animal that people offer to the Lord, it will be considered holy.

10. Don’t exchange or substitute animals, a good one for a bad one or a bad one for a good one. If you do exchange one animal for another, then both animals will be holy.

11. If it is an unclean animal that cannot be brought to the Lord as an offering, bring it in front of the priest.

12. The priest will determine what its value is. The value will be whatever the priest decides.

13. If you want to buy it back, you must pay its full value plus one-fifth more.

14. “If you give your house to the Lord as something holy, the priest will determine what its value is. The value will be whatever the priest decides.

15. If you want to buy it back, you must pay its full value plus one-fifth more.

16. “If a person gives part of a field to the Lord as something holy, its value will be based on the seed planted on it. Ground planted with 2 quarts of barley will be worth 20 ounces of silver.

17. If you give your field in the jubilee year, it will have its full value.

18. But if you give the field after the jubilee year, the priest will estimate its value based on the number of years left until the next jubilee year.

19. If you want to buy it back, you must pay its full value plus one-fifth more.

20. But if you don’t buy it back and it is sold to someone else, you cannot buy it back.
