all that when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not so cast
them away nor my soul shall not so abhor them, that I will utterly
destroy them and break mine appointment with them: for I am the LORD
their God. I will therefore remember unto them the first covenant made
when I brought them out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the
heathen to be their God: for I am the LORD. These are the ordinances,
judgements, and laws which the LORD made between him and the children
of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
Chapter .xxvij.
And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the children of Israel
and say unto them: If any man will give a singular vow unto the LORD
according to the value of his soul, then shall the male from twenty
years unto forty be set at fifty sicles of silver, after the sicle of
the sanctuary, and the female at thirty sicles. And from five years to
twenty the male shall be set at twenty sicles, and the female at ten
sicles. And from a month unto five years, the male shall be set at five
sicles of silver, and the female at three. And the man that is forty
and above, shall be valued at fifteen sicles, and the woman at ten. If
he be too poor so to be set, then let him come before the priest: and
let the priest value him, according as the hand of him that vowed is
able to get. If it be of the beasts of which men bring an offering unto
the LORD: all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD, shall be holy.
He may not alter it nor change it: a good for a bad or a bad for good.
If he change beast for beast, then both the same beast and it also
wherewith it was changed shall be holy. If it be any manner of unclean
beast of which men may not offer unto the LORD, let him bring the beast
before the priest and let the priest value it. And whether it be good
or bad as the priest setteth it, so shall it be. And if he will buy it
again, let him give the fifth part more to that it was set at. If any
man dedicate his house, it shall be holy unto the LORD. And the priest
shall set it; whether it be good or bad, and as the priest hath set it,
so it shall be. If he that sanctified it will redeem his house, let him
give the fifth part of the money that it was judged at thereto, and it
shall be his. If a man hallow a piece of his inherited land unto the
LORD, it shall be set according to that it beareth. If it bear an homer
of barley, it shall be set at fifty sicles of silver. If he hallow his
field immediately from the trompet year, it shall be worth according as
it is esteemed. But and if he hallow his field after the trumpet year,
the priest shall reckon the price with him according to the years that
remain unto the trumpet year, and thereafter it shall be lower set. If
he that sanctified the field will redeem it again, let him put the
fifth part of the price that it was set at, thereunto, and it shall be
his: if he will not it shall be redeemed no more. But when the field
