Greek Septuagint
1 Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,
2 λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς, ὃς ἂν εὔξηται εὐχὴν ὥστε τιμὴν τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ,
3 ἔσται ἡ τιμὴ τοῦ ἄρσενος ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς, ἕως ἑξηκονταετοῦς, ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ τιμὴ πεντήκοντα δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου τῷ σταθμῷ τῷ ἁγίῳ·
4 Τῆς δὲ θηλείας ἔσται ἡ συντίμησις τριάκοντα δίδραχμα.
5 Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ πενταετοῦς ἕως εἴκοσι ἐτῶν, ἔσται ἡ τιμὴ τοῦ ἄρσενος εἴκοσι δίδραχμα· τῆς δὲ θηλείας, δέκα δίδραχμα.
6 Ἀπὸ δὲ μηνιαίου ἕως πενταετοῦς, ἔσται ἡ τιμὴ τοῦ ἄρσενος πέντε δίδραχμα· τῆς δὲ θηλείας, τρία δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου.
7 Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ ἑξήκοντα ἐτῶν καὶ ἐπάνω, ἐὰν μὲν ἄρσεν ᾖ, ἔσται ἡ τιμὴ αὐτοῦ πεντεκαίδεκα δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου· ἐὰν δὲ θήλεια, δέκα δίδραχμα.
8 Ἐὰν δὲ ταπεινὸς ᾖ τῇ τιμῇ, στήσεται ἐναντίον τοῦ ἱερέως· καὶ τιμήσεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· καθάπερ ἰσχύει ἡ χεὶρ τοῦ εὐξαμένου, τιμήσεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς.
9 Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν κτηνῶν τῶν προσφερομένων ἀπʼ αὐτῶν δῶρον τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὃς ἂν δῷ ἀπὸ τούτων τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἔσται ἅγιον.
10 Οὐκ ἀλλάξει αὐτὸ καλὸν πονηρῷ, οὐδὲ πονηρὸν καλῷ· ἐὰν δὲ ἀλλάσσων ἀλλάξῃ αὐτὸ κτῆνος κτήνει, ἔσται αὐτὸ καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα ἅγια.
11 Ἐὰν δὲ πᾶν κτῆνος ἀκάθαρτον, ἀφʼ ὧν οὐ προσφέρεται ἀπʼ αὐτῶν δῶρον τῷ Κυρίῳ, στήσει τὸ κτῆνος ἔναντι τοῦ ἱερέως,
12 καὶ τιμήσεται αὐτὸ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀναμέσον καλοῦ καὶ ἀναμέσον πονηροῦ· καὶ καθότι ἂν τιμήσηται αὐτὸ ὁ ἱερεὺς, οὕτω στήσεται.
13 Ἐὰν δὲ λυτρούμενος λυτρώσηται αὐτὸ, προσθήσει τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον πρὸς τὴν τιμὴν αὐτοῦ.
14 Καὶ ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἂν ἁγιάσῃ τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ ἁγίαν τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ τιμήσεται αὐτὴν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀναμέσον καλῆς καὶ ἀναμέσον πονηρᾶς· ὡς ἂν τιμήσηται αὐτὴν ὁ ἱερεὺς, οὕτω σταθήσεται.
15 Ἐὰν δὲ ὁ ἁγιάσας αὐτὴν λυτρῶται τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, προσθήσει ἐπʼ αὐτὸ τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον τοῦ ἀργυρίου τῆς τιμῆς, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ.
16 Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ ἁγιάσῃ ἄνθρωπος τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ τιμὴ κατὰ τὸν σπόρον αὐτοῦ, κόρου κριθῶν πεντήκοντα δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου.
17 Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ τῆς ἀφέσεως ἁγιάσῃ τὸν ἀγρὸν αὐτοῦ, κατὰ τὴν τιμὴν αὐτοῦ στήσεται.
18 Ἐὰν δὲ ἔσχατον μετὰ τὴν ἄφεσιν ἁγιάσῃ τὸν ἀγρὸν αὐτοῦ, προσλογιεῖται αὐτῷ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τὰ ἔτη τὰ ἐπίλοιπα, ἕως εἰς τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν τῆς ἀφέσεως, καὶ ἀνθυφαιρεθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς συντιμήσεως αὐτοῦ.
19 Ἐὰν δὲ λυτρῶται τὸν ἀγρὸν ὁ ἁγιάσας αὐτὸν, προσθήσει τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον τοῦ ἀργυρίου πρὸς τὴν τιμὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ.
20 Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ λυτρῶται τὸν ἀγρὸν, καὶ ἀποδῶται τὸν ἀγρὸν ἀνθρώπῳ ἑτέρῳ, οὐκέτι μὴ λυτρώσηται αὐτόν.
21 Ἀλλʼ ἔσται ὁ ἀγρὸς ἐξεληλυθυίας τῆς ἀφέσεως ἅγιος τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὥσπερ ἡ γῆ ἡ ἀφωρισμένη τῷ ἱερεῖ ἔσται κατάσχεσις αὐτοῦ.
22 Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγροῦ οὗ κέκτηται, ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ, ἁγιάσῃ τῷ Κυρίῳ,
23 λογιεῖται πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ τέλος τῆς τιμῆς ἐκ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ τῆς ἀφέσεως, καὶ ἀποδώσει τὴν τιμὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἁγίαν τῷ Κυρίῳ·
24 Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῆς ἀφέσεως ἀποδοθήσεται ὁ ἀγρὸς τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ παρʼ οὗ κέκτηται αὐτὸν, οὗ ἦν ἡ κατάσχεσις τῆς γῆς.
25 Καὶ πᾶσα τιμὴ ἔσται σταθμίοις ἁγίοις· εἴκοσι ὀβολοὶ ἔσται τὸ δίδραχμον.
26 Καὶ πᾶν πρωτότοκον ὃ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν τοῖς κτήνεσί σου, ἔσται τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ οὐ καθαγιάσει αὐτὸ οὐδείς· ἐάν τε μόσχον, ἐάν τε πρόβατον, τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐστίν.
27 Ἐὰν δὲ τῶν τετραπόδων τῶν ἀκαθάρτων ἀλλάξῃ κατὰ τὴν τιμὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσθήσει τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον πρὸς αὐτὸ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ· ἐὰν δὲ μὴ λυτρῶται, πραθήσεται κατὰ τὸ τίμημα αὐτοῦ.
28 Πᾶν δὲ ἀνάθεμα, ὃ ἂν ἀναθῇ ἄνθρωπος τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀπὸ πάντων, ὅσα αὐτῷ ἐστιν, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους, καὶ ἀπὸ ἀγροῦ κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἀποδώσεται οὐδὲ λυτρώσεται· πᾶν ἀνάθεμα ἅγιον ἁγίων ἔσται τῷ Κυρίῳ.
29 Καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν ἀνατεθῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, οὐ λυτρωθήσεται, ἀλλὰ θανάτῳ θανατωθήσεται.
30 Πᾶσα δεκάτη τῆς γῆς, ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς γῆς, καὶ τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ξυλίνου, τῷ. Κυρίῳ ἐστίν, ἅγιον τῷ Κυρίῳ.
31 Ἐὰν δὲ λυτρῶται λύτρῳ ἄνθρωπος τὴν δεκάτην αὐτοῦ, τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον προσθήσει πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ.
32 Καὶ πᾶσα δεκάτη βοῶν, καὶ προβάτων, καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἂν ἔλθῃ ἐν τῷ ἀριθμῷ ὑπὸ τὴν ῥάβδον, τὸ δέκατον ἔσται ἅγιον τῷ Κυρίῳ.
33 Οὐκ ἀλλάξεις καλὸν πονηρῷ, οὐδὲ πονηρὸν καλῷ· ἐὰν δὲ ἀλλάσσων ἀλλάξῃς αὐτό, καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἅγιον, οὐ λυτρωθήσεται.
34 Αὗταί εἰσιν αἱ ἐντολαὶ ἃς ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σινᾷ.
Brenton English
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whosoever shall vow a vow as the valuation of his soul for the Lord,
3 the valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be—his valuation shall be fifty didrachms of silver by the standard of the sanctuary.
4 And the valuation of a female shall be thirty didrachms.
5 And if it be from five years old to twenty, the valuation of a male shall be twenty didrachms, and of a female ten didrachms.
6 And from a month old to five years old, the valuation of a male shall be five didrachms, and of a female, three didrachms of silver.
7 And if from sixty years old and upward, if it be a male, his valuation shall be fifteen didrachms of silver, and if a female, ten didrachms.
8 And if the man be too poor for the valuation, he shall stand before the priest; and the priest shall value him: according to what the man who has vowed can afford, the priest shall value him.
9 And if it be from the cattle that are offered as a gift to the Lord, whoever shall offer one of these to the Lord, it shall be holy.
10 He shall not change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he do at all change it, a beast for a beast, it and the substitute shall be holy.
11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which none are offered as a gift to the Lord, he shall set the beast before the priest.
12 And the priest shall make a valuation between the good and the bad, and accordingly as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.
13 And if the worshipper will at all redeem it, he shall add the fifth part to its value.
14 And whatsoever man shall consecrate his house as holy to the Lord, the priest shall make a valuation of it between the good and the bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.
15 And if he that has sanctified it should redeem his house, he shall add to it the fifth part of the money of the valuation, and it shall be his.
16 And if a man should hallow to the Lord a part of the field of his possession, then the valuation shall be according to its seed, fifty didrachms of silver for a homer of barley.
17 And if he should sanctify his field from the year of release, it shall stand according to his valuation.
18 And if he should sanctify his field in the latter time after the release, the priest shall reckon to him the money for the remaining years, until the next year of release, and it shall be deducted as an equivalent from his full valuation.
19 And if he that sanctified the field would redeem it, he shall add to its value the fifth part of the money, and it shall be his.
20 And if he do not redeem the field, but should sell the field to another man, he shall not after redeem it.
21 But the field shall be holy to the Lord after the release, as separated land; the priest shall have possession of it.
22 And if he should consecrate to the Lord of a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
23 the priest shall reckon to him the full valuation from the year of release, and he shall pay the valuation in that day as holy to the Lord.
24 And in the year of release the land shall be restored to the man of whom the other bought it, whose the possession of the land was.
25 And every valuation shall be by holy weights: the didrachm shall be twenty oboli.
26 And every first-born which shall be produced among thy cattle shall be the Lord's, and no man shall sanctify it: whether calf or sheep, it is the Lord's.
27 But if he should redeem an unclean beast, according to its valuation, then he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his; and if he redeem it not, it shall be sold according to its valuation.
28 And every dedicated thing which a man shall dedicate to the Lord of all that he has, whether man or beast, or of the field of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor redeem it: every devoted thing shall be most holy to the Lord.
29 And whatever shall be dedicated of men, shall not be ransomed, but shall be surely put to death.
30 Every tithe of the land, both of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of trees, is the Lord's, holy to the Lord.
31 And if a man should at all redeem his tithe, he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his.
32 And every tithe of oxen, and of sheep, and whatsoever may come in numbering under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord.
33 Thou shalt not change a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if thou shouldest at all change it, its equivalent also shall be holy, it shall not be redeemed.
34 These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in mount Sina.
