Leviticus 27:1-13

1The Lord said to Moses,

2‘Speak to Israel's people. Tell them this. A person might give another person to the Lord for a special promise.

3They can make that person free. But they must give the right amount of money to God. For a man between 20 years and 60 years old, they must give 50 pieces of silver.

4For a woman, they must give 30 pieces of silver.

5For a male between five years and 20 years old, they must give to God 20 pieces of silver. For a female, they must give ten pieces of silver.

6For a boy between one month and five years old, they must give five pieces of silver. For a girl of the same age, God must have three pieces of silver.

7If a man is older than 60 years, they must give 15 pieces of silver. For a woman, they must give ten pieces of silver.

8A person might say this special promise to God. But he might be too poor to pay the money. He must bring the person to the priest. The priest will tell the person how much money to pay. The priest will know how much money the man can give.

9If the promise is to give an animal to God the animal becomes holy to the Lord.

10The person must not change a good animal for a bad animal. He must not change a bad animal for a good animal. If the person does change one animal for another, both the animals become holy.

11The animal might be an animal that you must not eat. And you can not give it to the Lord. If it is, the person must bring it to the priest.

12The priest will decide if the animal is good or bad.

13The person might want to buy the animal back. He must pay the price of the animal and one fifth more.
