Leviticus 27
Bible in Basic English
1And the Lord said to Moses,
2Say to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord.
3And you will put the value of a male from twenty years to sixty years old at fifty shekels of silver, by the scale of the holy place.
4And if it is a female, the value will be thirty shekels.
5And if the person is from five to twenty years old, the value will be twenty shekels for a male, and ten for a female.
6And if the person is from one month to five years old, then the value for a male will be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels.
7And for sixty years old and over, for a male the value will be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten.
8But if he is poorer than the value which you have put on him, then let him be taken to the priest, and the priest will put a value on him, such as it is possible for him to give.
9And if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man gives of such to the Lord will be holy.
10It may not be changed in any way, a good given for a bad, or a bad for a good; if one beast is changed for another, the two will be holy.
11And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest;
12And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be.
