WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:1

  1     ?  And YAHWEH spoke unto Mosheh, saying,

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:2

  2    Speak unto the children of Yisrael, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for YAHWEH by your estimation.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:3

  3    And your estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:4

  4    And if it be a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:5

  5    And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then your estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:6

  6    And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then your estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:7

  7    And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then your estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:8

  8    But if he be poorer than your estimation, then he shall present himself before the kohen, and the kohen shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the kohen value him.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:9

  9    And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto YAHWEH, all that any man gives of such unto YAHWEH shall be holy.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:10

  10    He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a evil, or a evil for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:11

  11    And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto YAHWEH, then he shall present the beast before the kohen:

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:12

  12    And the kohen shall value it, whether it be good or evil: as you value it, who are the kohen, so shall it be.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:13

  13    But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto your estimation.

Vows Concerning Houses And Land

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:14

  14     ?  And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto YAHWEH, then the kohen shall estimate it, whether it be good or evil: as the kohen shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:15

  15    And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:16

  16    And if a man shall sanctify unto YAHWEH some part of a field of his possession, then your estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:17

  17    If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to your estimation it shall stand.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:18

  18    But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the kohen shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from your estimation.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:19

  19    And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:20

  20    And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:21

  21    But the field, when it goes out in the jubile, shall be holy unto YAHWEH, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the kohen's.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:22

  22    And if a man sanctify unto YAHWEH a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:23

  23    Then the kohen shall reckon unto him the worth of your estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give your estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto YAHWEH.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:24

  24    In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:25

  25    And all your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

Devoted Things Not To Be Redeemed

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:26

  26     ?  Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be YAHWEH'S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is YAHWEH'S.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:27

  27    And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to your estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your estimation.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:28

  28    Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto YAHWEH of all that he has, both of adam and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto YAHWEH.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:29

  29    None devoted, which shall be devoted of adam, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:30

  30    And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is YAHWEH'S: it is holy unto YAHWEH.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:31

  31    And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:32

  32    And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto YAHWEH.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:33

  33    He shall not search whether it be good or evil, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

WAYYIORA - LEVITICUS 27:34

  34    These are the commandments, which YAHWEH commanded Mosheh for the children of Yisrael in mount Sinai.
