New Testament

Leviticus 27:4-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

9. And if it be an animal, of which men bring an offering to the Lord, all that any man gives of such to the Lord shall be holy.

10. He shall not exchange it nor substitute it, good for bad or bad for good. If he in fact substitutes an animal for another, then both it and its substitute shall be holy.

11. If it is any sort of unclean animal that is not permitted as an offering to the Lord, then he shall present the animal before the priest.

12. And the priest shall set its value, whether good or bad; according to the equivalent value set by the priest, so shall it be.

13. But if he plans on redeeming it, then he shall add one-fifth to the equivalent value.

14. When a man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest shall set its value, whether good or bad, according to the equivalent value set by the priest, so shall it be established.
