New Testament

Leviticus 27:7-13 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

7. The price for a man who is 60 years old or older is 15 shekels. The price for a woman is 10 shekels.

8. “If anyone is too poor to pay the price, bring that person to the priest. The priest will decide how much money the person can afford to pay.

9. “You might promise to give an animal to the Lord. If it is a clean animal—one that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord—then the animal you bring will become holy.

10. You must not put any other animal in its place. Don’t try to trade a good animal for a bad one or a bad animal for a good one. If you try to change animals, both animals will become holy—they will both belong to the Lord.

11. “The animal you promised might be one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord. If you promised one of these unclean animals, you must bring it to the priest.

12. The priest will decide a price for that animal. It doesn’t make any difference if the animal is good or bad. If the priest decides on a price, that is the price for the animal.

13. If you want to buy back the animal, then you must add one-fifth to the price.
