4 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 above, if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fif teen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to hin.

141 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 estimate it, so shall it stand.

20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

21 But the fieid, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted: the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; ac-the LORD. cording to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

24 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

10 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 it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

25 And all thy estimations shall be accord ling to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep: it is the LORD'S.

11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:

12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.

27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto; or it it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.

31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley-seed shall 32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or be valued at fifty shekels of silver. of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

33 He shall not search whether it be good for bad, neither shall he change it; and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubice, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

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