Rules about gifts dedicated to the Lord
Leviticus 27:1-8
Redeeming Persons dedicated to the Lord
v1 The Lord said to Moses,
v2 ‘Speak to Israel’s people; tell them this. A person might give another person to the Lord for a special promise.
v3 They can make that person free. But they must give the right amount of money to the Lord. For a man between 20 years and 60 years old, they must give 50 pieces of silver.
v4 For a woman, they must give 30 pieces of silver.
v5 For a male between five years and 20 years old, they must give to the Lord 20 pieces of silver. For a female, they must give 10 pieces of silver.
v6 For a boy between one month and five years old, they must give five pieces of silver. For a girl of the same age, the Lord must have three pieces of silver.
v7 If a man is older than 60 years, they must give 15 pieces of silver. For a woman, they must give 10 pieces of silver.
v8 A person might say this special promise to the Lord. But he might be too poor to pay the money. He must bring the person to the priest. The priest will tell the person how much money to pay. The priest will know how much money the man can give.
