Leviticus 27:6-25

⁶from one month till to the fifth year, five shekels shall be given for a male, three shekels for a woman;

⁷a male of sixty years and over shall give fifteen shekels, a woman shall give ten shekels.

⁸If it is a poor man, and he may not yield the value, he shall stand before the priest, and as much as the priest appraiseth, and seeth that the poor man may yield, so much he shall give.

⁹Soothly if any man avoweth a beast, that may be offered to the Lord, it shall be holy,

¹⁰and it shall not be able to be changed, that is, neither a better for a worse, neither an evil for a good; and if he changeth it, both that, that is changed, and that, for which it is changed, shall be hallowed to the Lord.

¹¹Soothly if any man avoweth an unclean beast, that may not be offered to the Lord, it shall be brought before the priest,

¹²and the priest shall deem whether it is good either evil, and he shall set the price;

¹³which price, if he that offereth will not give, he shall add the fifth part over the value.

¹⁴If a man avoweth his house, and halloweth it to the Lord, the priest shall behold, whether it is good either evil, and by the price which is ordained of him, it shall be sold;

¹⁵soothly if he that avowed will again-buy it, he shall give the fifth part of the value above, and he shall have the house.

¹⁶That if a man avoweth the field of his possession, and halloweth it to the Lord, the price shall be deemed by the measure of the seed; if the field is sown with thirty bushels of barley, it shall be sold for fifty shekels of silver.

¹⁷If he avoweth the field anon from the year of the beginning of the jubilee, as much as it may be worth, by so much it shall be appraised;

¹⁸but if it be after some part of time, the priest shall reckon, either determine, the money by the number of the years that be left till to the jubilee, and it shall be withdrawn of the price.

¹⁹That if he that avowed will again-buy the field, he shall add the fifth part of the money that is appraised, and he shall wield it;

²⁰but if he will not again-buy it, but it is sold to any other man, he that avowed it shall never be able to again-buy it;

²¹for when the day of jubilee cometh, that field shall be hallowed to the Lord, and the possession hallowed pertaineth to the right of priests.

²²If the field is bought, and is not of the possession of greater men, that is, of ancestors, and it is hallowed to the Lord,

²³the priest shall determine the price by the number of years till to the jubilee, and he that avowed the field shall give the price thereof to the Lord;

²⁴forsooth in the jubilee it shall turn again to the former lord that sold it, and he shall have it into the heritage of his possession.

²⁵All the appraising, or value, shall be weighed by the shekel of the saintuary; a shekel hath twenty half-pence.
