1
Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2
"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When a man consecrates by a vow certain persons to the Lord, according to your valuation,
3
if your valuation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
4
If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels;
5
and if from five years old up to twenty years old, then your valuation for a male shall be twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels;
6
and if from a month old up to five years old, then your valuation for a male shall be five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver;
7
and if from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
8
But if he is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall set a value for him; according to the ability of him who vowed, the priest shall value him.
9
'If it is an animal that men may bring as an offering to the Lord, all that anyone gives to the Lord shall be holy.
