Lev 27:8

Lev 27:8‘But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be [fn]presented before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to [fn]the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.

Lev 27:9

‘Now if^H518 it is an animal^H929 of the kind which^H834 [fn]men can bring^H7126 near^H7126 as an offering^H7133 to Yahweh^H3068, any^H3605 such^H834 that one gives^H5414 to Yahweh^H3068 shall be holy^H6944.

Lev 27:10

Lev 27:10‘He shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; or if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy.

Lev 27:11

Lev 27:11‘If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which [fn]men do not bring near as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall [fn]present the animal before the priest.

Lev 27:12

Lev 27:12‘And the priest shall value it [fn]as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

Lev 27:13

Lev 27:13‘But if he should ever wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of it to your valuation.

Lev 27:14

‘Now if^H3588 a man^H376 sets^H6942 his house^H1004 apart^H6942 as holy^H6944 to Yahweh^H3068, then the priest^H3548 shall value^H6186 it [fn]as either^H996 good^H2896 or^H996 bad^H7451; as the priest^H3548 values^H6186 it, so^H3651 it shall stand^H6965.

Lev 27:15

Lev 27:15‘Yet if the one who sets it apart as holy should wish to redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may be his.

Lev 27:16

‘Again, if^H518 a man^H376 sets^H6942 apart^H6942 as^H6942 holy^H6942 to Yahweh^H3068 a portion of the fields^H7704 of his own possession^H272, then your valuation^H6187 shall be [fn]proportionate^H6310 to the seed^H2233 needed for it: a [fn]homer^H2563 of barley^H8184 seed^H2233 at [fn]fifty^H2572 shekels^H8255 of silver^H3701.

Lev 27:17

Lev 27:19

Lev 27:19‘If the one who sets it apart as holy should ever wish to redeem the field, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it so that it may stand as his own.

Lev 27:20

Lev 27:20‘Yet if he will not redeem the field, [fn]but has sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed;

Lev 27:21

Lev 27:21and it will be that when it [fn]reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to Yahweh, like a field that is [fn]devoted; it shall be for the priest as his possession.

Lev 27:22

Lev 27:22‘Or if he sets apart as holy to Yahweh a field which he has bought, which is not a portion of the field of his own possession,

Lev 27:23

Lev 27:23then the priest shall calculate for [fn]him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuation as holy to Yahweh.

Lev 27:24

Lev 27:24‘In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.

Lev 27:25

Lev 27:27

Lev 27:27‘But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall [fn]ransom it according to your valuation and add to it one-fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

Lev 27:28

‘Nevertheless^H389, anything^H3605 which^H834 a man^H376 [fn]devotes^H2763 to Yahweh^H3068 out of all^H3605 that he has, of man^H120 or animal^H929 or of the fields^H7704 of his own possession^H272, shall not be sold^H4376 or redeemed^H1350. Anything^H3605 [fn]devoted^H2764 to destruction^H2764 is most^H6944 holy^H6944 to Yahweh^H3068.

Lev 27:29

Lev 27:29‘No [fn]one who may have been [fn]devoted among men shall be [fn]ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

Lev 27:30

‘Thus all^H3605 the tithe^H4643 of the land^H776, of the seed^H2233 of the land^H776 or of the fruit^H6529 of the tree^H6086, belongs to Yahweh^H3068; it is holy^H6944 to Yahweh^H3068.

Lev 27:31

Lev 27:31‘If, therefore, a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it one-fifth of it.

Lev 27:32

Lev 27:32‘For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to Yahweh.

Lev 27:33

Lev 27:33‘He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; or if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”

Lev 27:34

These^H428 are the commandments^H4687 which^H834 Yahweh^H3068 commanded^H6680 Moses^H4872 for the sons^H1121 of Israel^H3478 at Mount^H2022 Sinai^H5514.
