Leviticus 27:2-13

2“SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and sayH559 to them, ‘1WhenH3588 a manH376 makesH6381 a difficultH6381 vowH5088, he shall be valued according to your valuationH6187 of personsH5315 belonging to the LordH3068. 3If your valuationH6187 is of the maleH2145 from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 even to sixtyH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121, then your valuationH6187 shall be fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, after 2the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944. 4Or ifH518 it is a femaleH5347, then your valuationH6187 shall be thirtyH7970 shekelsH8255. 5IfH518 it be from fiveH2568 yearsH8141 even to twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 then your valuationH6187 for the maleH2145 shall be twentyH6242 shekelsH8255 and for the femaleH5347 tenH6235 shekelsH8255. 6But ifH518 they are from a monthH2320 even up to fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121, then your valuationH6187 shall be 3fiveH2568 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701 for the maleH2145, and for the femaleH5347 your valuationH6187 shall be threeH7969 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701. 7IfH518 they are from sixtyH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, ifH518 it is a maleH2145, then your valuationH6187 shall be fifteenH2568H6240 shekelsH8255, and for the femaleH5347 tenH6235 shekelsH8255. 8But ifH518 he is poorerH4134 thanH4480 your valuationH6187, then he shall be placedH5975 beforeH6440 the priestH3548 and the priestH3548 shall valueH6186 him; 4accordingH5921H6310 to 5the meansH3027H5381 of the one who vowedH5087, the priestH3548 shall valueH6186 him.

9‘Now ifH518 it is an animalH929 of the kind whichH834 6men can presentH7126 as an offeringH7133 to the LordH3068, anyH3605 suchH834 that one givesH5414 to the LordH3068 shall be holyH6944. 107He shall not replaceH2498 it or exchangeH4171 it, a goodH2896 for a badH7451, orH176 a badH7451 for a goodH2896; or ifH518 he doesH4171 exchangeH4171 animalH929 for animalH929, then both it and its substituteH8545 shall becomeH1961 holyH6944. 11IfH518, however, it is anyH3605 uncleanH2931 animalH929 of the kind whichH834 8men do not presentH7126 as an offeringH7133 to the LordH3068, then he shall placeH5975 the animalH929 beforeH6440 the priestH3548. 12The priestH3548 shall valueH6186 it 9as eitherH996 goodH2896 orH996 badH7451; as you, the priestH3548, valueH6187 it, soH3651 it shall be. 13But ifH518 he should everH1350 wish to redeemH1350 it, then he shall addH3254 one-fifthH2549 of it to your valuationH6187.
