Vows and Valuations

Leviticus 27

The Lord gives Moses a schedule of monetary values for persons dedicated to him by vow, set according to age and sex, with a lower valuation allowed for the poor as the priest judges. The chapter also covers the dedication and redemption of animals, houses, and fields, the status of the firstborn of cattle, and the tithe of land and flocks, with redemption in each case requiring the addition of a fifth to the value.
