Leviticus Chapter 27 (Last chapter) Reverts to Chapter One Giving Details and Emphasis on Offerings/Gifts

One Of The Most Difficult Commandments Is To Offer Or Donate

*As easy as it may sound, even the ones who are able to give opt even to spend their money on things that are not really necessary.

Knowing that there is no exposure if you give or donate.

But there is more to it…

“Gifts to the Temple: Valuations”
“Sanctification and Redemption of Animals”
“Redemption of Houses and Fields”
“Cherem/-Segregated Property”
“The Tithe of Animals”

Speak to the Children of Israel and say to them: If a man articulates a vow to Hashem regarding a valuation of living persons,
27:2
the valuation of a male shall be: for someone twenty years to sixty years of age, the valuation shall be fifty silver shekels, of the sacred shekel.
27:3
If she is female, the valuation shall be thirty shekels.
:4
But if he is too poor for the valuation, then he should cause him to stand before the Kohen, and the Kohen should evaluate him; according to what the person making the vow can afford should the Kohen evaluate him.
:8
If it is the kind of animal that one can bring as an offering to Hashem, whatever part of it he may give to Hashem shall be holy.
:9
And if it is any disqualified animal from which they may not bring an offering to Hashem, then he shall stand the animal before the Kohen.
:11
If a man consecrates his house to be holy to Hashem, the Kohen shall evaluate it, whether good or bad; as the Kohen shall evaluate it, so shall it remain.
:14
If a man consecrates a field from his ancestral heritage to Hashem, the valuation shall be according to its seeding: and area seeded by a chomer of barley for fifty silver shekels.
:16
However, a firstborn that will become a firstling for Hashem among livestock, a man shall not consecrate it; whether it is of oxen or of the flock, it is Hashem’s.
:26
However, any segregated property that a man will segregate for the sake of Hashem, from anyting that is his – whether human, animal, or the field of his ancestral heritage – may not be sold and may not be redeemed, any segregated item may be most holy to Hashem.
:28
Any condemned person who has been banned from mankind shall not be redeemed; he shall be put to death.
:29
Any tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, belongs to Hashem; it is holy to Hashem.
:30
Any tithe of cattle or of the flock, any that passes under the staff, the tenth one shall be holy to Hashem.
:33
These are the commandments that Hashem commanded Moses to the Children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
:34

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: When a man expresses a vow, [pledging the] value of lives to the Lord,
3 the [fixed] value of a male shall be as follows: From twenty years old until sixty years old, the value is fifty silver shekels, according to the holy shekel;
4 And if she is a female, the value is thirty shekels;
5 And if [the person is] from five years old until twenty years old, the value of a male shall be twenty shekels, while that of a female shall be ten shekels;
6 And if [the person is] from one month old until five years old, the value of a male shall be five silver shekels, while the value of a female shall be three silver shekels;
7 And if [the person is] sixty years old or over, if it is a male, the value shall be fifteen shekels, while for a female, it shall be ten shekels.
8 But if he is [too] poor to [pay] the valuation [amount], he shall stand him up before the kohen, and the kohen shall evaluate him according to how much the one who is vowing his value can afford._
9 Now, if an animal of whose type is [fit] to be brought as an offering to the Lord, whatever part of it the person donates to the Lord, shall become holy.
10 He shall not exchange it or offer a substitute for it, whether it be a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one. But if he does substitute one animal for another animal, [both] that one and its replacement shall be holy.
11 And if it is any unclean animal, of whose type shall not be brought as an offering to the Lord, then he shall stand up the animal before the kohen.
12 The kohen shall then evaluate it whether it is good or bad; like the evaluation of the kohen, so shall it be.
13 But if he redeems it, he shall add its fifth to its value.
14 And if a man consecrates his house [to be] holy to the Lord, the kohen shall evaluate it whether good or bad; as the kohen evaluates it, so shall it remain.
15 But if the one who consecrated it redeems his house, he shall add to it a fifth of its valuation money, and it shall be his.
16 And if a man consecrates some of the field of his inherited property to the Lord, the valuation shall be according to its sowing: an area which requires a chomer of barley seeds at fifty silver shekels.
17 Now, if he consecrates his field from [when] the Jubilee year [has ended], it shall remain at [its full] valuation.
18 But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the kohen shall calculate the money for him, according to the remaining years until the [next] Jubilee year, and it shall be deducted from the valuation.
19 If the one who consecrated it redeems the field, he shall add to it a fifth of the valuation money, and it shall be his.
20 But if he does not redeem the field, and if he has sold the field to someone else it may no longer be redeemed.
21 But, when the field leaves in the Jubilee, it shall be holy to the Lord like a field devoted; his inherited property shall belong to the kohen.
22 And if he consecrates to the Lord a field that he had acquired, that is not part of his inherited property,
23 the kohen shall calculate for him the amount of the valuation until the Jubilee year, and he shall give the valuation on that day, holy to the Lord.
24 In the Jubilee year, the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it namely, the one whose inherited land it was.
25 Every valuation shall be made according to the holy shekel, whereby one shekel is the equivalent of twenty gerahs.
26 However, a firstborn animal that must be [sacrificed as] a firstborn to the Lord no man may consecrate it; whether it be an ox or sheep, it belongs to the Lord.
27 Now, if [someone consecrates] an unclean animal, he may redeem [it] by [paying] the valuation, and he shall add its fifth to it, and if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold for the valuation [price].
28 However, anything that a man devotes to the Lord from any of his property whether a person, an animal, or part of his inherited field shall not be sold, nor shall it be redeemed, [for] all devoted things are holy of holies to the Lord.
29 Any devoting of a person who has been devoted, need not be redeemed [for] he is to be put to death.
30 Any tithe of the Land, whether it be from the seed of the land or the fruit of the tree it is the Lord’s. It is holy to the Lord.
31 And if a man redeems some of his tithe, he shall add its fifth to it.
32 Any tithe of cattle or flock of all that pass under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord.
33 He shall not inspect [a tithed animal] for a good or a bad one, nor shall he offer a substitute for it. And if he does replace it, then [both] that one and its replacement are holy; it cannot be redeemed.
34 These are the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses to [tell] the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
