1 The Lord gave Moses
2 the following regulations for the people of Israel. When a person has been given to the Lord in fulfilment of a special vow, that person may be set free by the payment of the following sums of money,
3-7 according to the official standard:— adult male, twenty to sixty years old: fifty pieces of silver— adult female: thirty pieces of silver— young male, five to twenty years old: twenty pieces of silver— young female: ten pieces of silver— infant male under five: five pieces of silver— infant female: three pieces of silver— male above sixty years of age: fifteen pieces of silver— female above sixty: ten pieces of silver
8 If anyone who made the vow is too poor to pay the standard price, he or she shall bring the person to the priest, and the priest will set a lower price, according to the ability of that person to pay.
9 If the vow concerns an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord, then every gift made to the Lord is sacred,
