(a) As of his son or daughter. (b) Who art the priest. 27:3 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty {c} shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. (c) Read the value of the shekel in [Exodus 30:13](../../../kjv/exodus/30/13). 27:6 And if [it be] from a {d} 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. (d) He speaks of those vows by which the fathers dedicated their children to God who were not of such force; but they might be redeemed from them. 27:8 But if he be poorer {e} than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him. (e) If he is not able to pay according to your estimate. 27:9 And if [it be] a {f} beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that [any man] giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy. (f) Which is clean, [Leviticus 11:2](../../../kjv/leviticus/11/2). 27:10 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 {g} holy. (g) That is, consecrate to the Lord. 27:16 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 {i} homer of barley seed [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver. (i) Homer is a measure containing ten ephahs, read of an ephah in [Exodus 16:16](../../../kjv/exodus/16/16); [Exodus 16:36](../../../kjv/exodus/16/36). 27:20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have {k} sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. (k) For their own necessity or godly uses. 27:21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be {l} holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s. (l) That is, who dedicate to the Lord with a curse to him that turns it to his private use, [Numbers 21:2](../../../kjv/numbers/21/2), De 13:15, [Joshua 9:17](../../../kjv/joshua/9/17). 27:23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, [even] unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give {m} thine estimation in that day, [as] a holy thing unto the LORD. (m) The priests evaluation. 27:26 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 {n} LORD’S. (n) It was the Lord’s already. 27:29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; [but] shall surely be {o} put to death. (o) It shall remain without redemption. 27:31 And if a man will at all redeem [ought] of his tithes, he shall add thereto the {p} fifth [part] thereof. (p) Besides the value of the thing itself. 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, [even] of whatsoever passeth under the {q} rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. (q) All that which is numbered: that is, every tenth as he falls by tale without exception or respect. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus/27#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Geneva Study Bible - Leviticus 27"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus/27#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus/27","name":"Geneva Study Bible - Leviticus 27","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus/27#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"27:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a {a} singular vow, the persons [shall be] for the LORD by {b} thy estima","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus/27#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus/27"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus/27#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries","name":"Commentaries"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible","name":"Geneva Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus","name":"Leviticus"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus/27","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/leviticus/27","name":"27"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
