And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. 5 °And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. 7 °And if it be from sixty years old and upward; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, 8 and for the female ten shekels. But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall be set' before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to 'the' ability of him' that vowed shall the priest value him.

And if it be a beast, whereof men loffer an oblation unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto 10 the LORD shall be holy. He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is 11 changed shall be holy. And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation' unto the LORD, then he shall set the beast before (12) the priest: and the priest shall value

it, whether it be good or bad: as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be. 13 °But if he will 'indeed' redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall 15 estimate it, so shall it stand. And

And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the sowing thereof:

the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation (18 it shall stand. But if he sanctify

his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubile, and 'an abatement shall be made from thy esti19 mation. And if he that sanctified the field will indeed' redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall 20 be assured to him. And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall 21 not be redeemed any more: but the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof 22 shall be the priest's. And if he' sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the (23 field of his possession; then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation unto the year of jubile and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto (24 the LORD. In the year of jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth'. 25 And all thy estimations shall be ac

26) Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to the 'LORD', no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is the 27) LORD'S. And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add unto it 'the' fifth part thereof1: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
