2 the following regulations for the people of Israel. When any of you have been given to the Lord in fulfillment of a special vow, you 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: 50 pieces of silver–adult female: 30 pieces of silver–young male, five to twenty years old: 20 pieces of silver–young female: 10 pieces of silver–infant male under five: 5 pieces of silver–infant female: 3 pieces of silver–male above sixty years of age: 15 pieces of silver–female above sixty: 10 pieces of silver
8 If any of you make a vow and are too poor to pay the standard price, you shall bring the person to the priest, and the priest will set a lower price, according to your ability to pay.
9 If your vow concerns an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord, then every gift made to the Lord is sacred,
10 and you may not substitute another animal for it. If you do, both animals belong to the Lord.
11 But if your vow concerns a ritually unclean animal, which is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord, you shall take the animal to the priest.
12 The priest shall set a price for it, according to its good or bad qualities, and the price will be final.
