Leviticus 27:2-8

Valuation of Persons Vowed

Leviticus 27:2-8
2
"Tell the people of Isra'el, 'If someone makes a clearly defined vow to ADONAI to give him an amount equal to the value of a human being,
3
the value you are to assign to a man between the ages of twenty and sixty years is to be fifty shekels of silver [one-and-a-quarter pounds], with the sanctuary shekel being the standard,
4
if a woman, thirty shekels.
5
If it is a child five to twenty years old, assign a value of twenty shekels for a boy and ten for a girl;
6
if a baby one month to five years of age, five shekels for a boy and three for a girl;
7
if a person past sixty, fifteen shekels for a man and ten for a woman.
8
If the person is too poor to be evaluated, set him before the cohen, who will assign him a value in keeping with the means of the person who made the vow.
