1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2. Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When a man makes a special vow to the Lord based on the equivalent value of persons,
3. then the equivalent value of a male from twenty to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.
4. If the person is a female, then the equivalent value shall be thirty shekels.
5. If the person is five to twenty years old, then the equivalent value shall be twenty shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female.
6. If the person is one month to five years old, then the equivalent value shall be five shekels for a male and three shekels of silver for a female.
7. If the person is sixty years old or older, then the equivalent value shall be fifteen shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female.
8. But if he is too poor to afford the equivalent value, then he shall present himself before the priest and the priest shall set his value. According to what the person making the vow can afford, so the priest shall set his value.
