KJVAnd thy estimationH6187 shall be of the maleH2145 from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 even unto sixtyH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121, even thy estimationH6187 shall be fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, after the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944.

KJVAnd if it be a beastH929, whereof men bringH7126(H8686) an offeringH7133 unto the LORDH3068, all that any man givethH5414(H8799) of such unto the LORDH3068 shall be holyH6944.
10 He shall not alter it, nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. If he shall at all exchange animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy.
KJVHe shall not alterH2498(H8686) it, nor changeH4171(H8686) it, a goodH2896 for a badH7451, or a badH7451 for a goodH2896: and if he shall at allH4171(H8687) changeH4171(H8686) beastH929 for beastH929, then it and the exchangeH8545 thereof shall be holyH6944.
11 If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest;
KJVAnd if it be any uncleanH2931 beastH929, of which they do not offerH7126(H8686) a sacrificeH7133 unto the LORDH3068, then he shall presentH5975(H8689) the beastH929 beforeH6440 the priestH3548:
12 and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall be.
KJVAnd the priestH3548 shall valueH6186(H8689) it, whetherH996 it be goodH2896 orH996 badH7451: as thou valuestH6187 it, who art the priestH3548, so shall it be.
13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.
KJVBut if he will at allH1350(H8800) redeemH1350(H8799) it, then he shall addH3254(H8804) a fifthH2549 part thereof unto thy estimationH6187.

KJVAnd when a manH376 shall sanctifyH6942(H8686) his houseH1004 to be holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068, then the priestH3548 shall estimateH6186(H8689) it, whether it be goodH2896 or badH7451: as the priestH3548 shall estimateH6186(H8686) it, so shall it standH6965(H8799).
15 If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
KJVAnd if he that sanctifiedH6942(H8688) it will redeemH1350(H8799) his houseH1004, then he shall addH3254(H8804) the fifthH2549 part of the moneyH3701 of thy estimationH6187 unto it, and it shall be his.
16 “‘If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
KJVAnd if a manH376 shall sanctifyH6942(H8686) unto the LORDH3068 some part of a fieldH7704 of his possessionH272, then thy estimationH6187 shall be accordingH6310 to the seedH2233 thereof: an homerH2563 of barleyH8184 seedH2233 shall be valued at fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701.
17 If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.
KJVIf he sanctifyH6942(H8686) his fieldH7704 from the yearH8141 of jubileH3104, according to thy estimationH6187 it shall standH6965(H8799).
18 But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.
KJVBut if he sanctifyH6942(H8686) his fieldH7704 afterH310 the jubileH3104, then the priestH3548 shall reckonH2803(H8765) unto him the moneyH3701 according toH6310 the yearsH8141 that remainH3498(H8737), even unto the yearH8141 of the jubileH3104, and it shall be abatedH1639(H8738) from thy estimationH6187.
19 If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.
KJVAnd if he that sanctifiedH6942(H8688) the fieldH7704 will in any wiseH1350(H8800) redeemH1350(H8799) it, then he shall addH3254(H8804) the fifthH2549 part of the moneyH3701 of thy estimationH6187 unto it, and it shall be assuredH6965(H8804) to him.
20 If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;
KJVAnd if he will not redeemH1350(H8799) the fieldH7704, or if he have soldH4376(H8804) the fieldH7704 to anotherH312 manH376, it shall not be redeemedH1350(H8735) any more.
21 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.
KJVBut the fieldH7704, when it goeth outH3318(H8800) in the jubileH3104, shall be holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068, as a fieldH7704 devotedH2764; the possessionH272 thereof shall be the priest'sH3548.
22 “‘If he dedicates a field to Yahweh which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
KJVAnd if a man sanctifyH6942(H8686) unto the LORDH3068 a fieldH7704 which he hath boughtH4736, which is not of the fieldsH7704 of his possessionH272;
23 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh.
KJVThen the priestH3548 shall reckonH2803(H8765) unto him the worthH4373 of thy estimationH6187, even unto the yearH8141 of the jubileH3104: and he shall giveH5414(H8804) thine estimationH6187 in that dayH3117, as a holy thingH6944 unto the LORDH3068.
24 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.
KJVIn the yearH8141 of the jubileH3104 the fieldH7704 shall returnH7725(H8799) unto him of whom it was boughtH7069(H8804), even to him to whom the possessionH272 of the landH776 did belong.
25 All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
KJVAnd all thy estimationsH6187 shall be according to the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944: twentyH6242 gerahsH1626 shall be the shekelH8255.
26 “‘However the firstborn among animals, which belongs to Yahweh as a firstborn, no man may dedicate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is Yahweh’s.
KJVOnly the firstlingH1060 of the beastsH929, which should be the LORD'SH3068 firstlingH1069(H8792), no manH376 shall sanctifyH6942(H8686) it; whether it be oxH7794, or sheepH7716: it is the LORD'SH3068.
27 If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
KJVAnd if it be of an uncleanH2931 beastH929, then he shall redeemH6299(H8804) it according to thine estimationH6187, and shall addH3254(H8804) a fifthH2549 part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemedH1350(H8735), then it shall be soldH4376(H8738) according to thy estimationH6187.
28 “‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man devotes to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. Everything that is permanently devoted is most holy to Yahweh.
KJVNotwithstanding no devoted thingH2764, that a manH376 shall devoteH2763(H8686) unto the LORDH3068 of all that he hath, both of manH120 and beastH929, and of the fieldH7704 of his possessionH272, shall be soldH4376(H8735) or redeemedH1350(H8735): every devoted thingH2764 is mostH6944 holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068.
29 “‘No one devoted to destruction, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death.
KJVNone devotedH2764, which shall beH3808 devotedH2763(H8714) of menH120, shall be redeemedH6299(H8735); but shall surelyH4191(H8800) be put to deathH4191(H8714).
30 “‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh’s. It is holy to Yahweh.
KJVAnd all the titheH4643 of the landH776, whether of the seedH2233 of the landH776, or of the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086, is the LORD'SH3068: it is holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068.
31 If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.
KJVAnd if a manH376 will at allH1350(H8800) redeemH1350(H8799) ought of his tithesH4643, he shall addH3254(H8686) thereto the fifthH2549 part thereof.
32 All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh.
KJVAnd concerning the titheH4643 of the herdH1241, or of the flockH6629, even of whatsoever passethH5674(H8799) under the rodH7626, the tenthH6224 shall be holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068.
33 He shall not examine whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it. If he exchanges it at all, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”
KJVHe shall not searchH1239(H8762) whether it be goodH2896 or badH7451, neither shall he changeH4171(H8686) it: and if he changeH4171(H8686) it at allH4171(H8687), then both it and the changeH8545 thereof shall be holyH6944; it shall not be redeemedH1350(H8735).
34 These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
KJVThese are the commandmentsH4687, which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680(H8765) MosesH4872 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in mountH2022 SinaiH5514.
