1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2. “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man consecrates a person to the Lord in a vow, according to your valuation,
3. your valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
4. If she is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
5. If the person is from five years old to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
6. If the person is from a month old to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
7. If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if he is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
8. But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall assign a value to him. The priest shall assign a value according to his ability to pay.
9. “‘If it is an animal of which men offer an offering to the Lord, all that any man gives of such to the Lord becomes holy.
10. He shall not alter it, nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. If he shall at all exchange animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy.
11. If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to the Lord, then he shall set the animal before the priest;
12. and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest evaluates it, so shall it be.
13. But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.
14. “‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to the Lord, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so shall it stand.
15. If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
16. “‘If a man dedicates to the Lord part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
