Maar is aan het beest iets onreins, zo zal men het lossen naar zijne waarde, en het vijfde deel daarenboven geven; en wil men het niet lossen, zo verkope men het naar zijne waarde.
Doch is het van een onrein beest, hij zal dat lossen naar uw schatting, en zal zijn vijfde deel daarboven toedoen; en indien het niet gelost wordt, zo zal het verkocht worden, naar uw schatting.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
and shall add: This was probably intended to prevent rash vows and covetous redemptions. The priest alone was to value the thing; and to whatever his valuation was, a fifth part must be added by him who wished to redeem it. Leviticus 27:11-13
Reciprocal: Leviticus 5:16 - the fifth Numbers 18:15 - the firstborn Nehemiah 10:36 - the firstborn
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if [it be] of an unclean beast,.... This is to be understood, not of the firstling of unclean creatures in common, which were to be redeemed with a lamb, and not with money, according to the estimation of the priest, and a fifth part added to that; but of such as were sanctified, or vowed, for the reparation of the sanctuary, as Jarchi notes:
then he shall redeem [it] according to thine estimation; the price the priest should set upon it, how much it was worth in his judgment:
and shall add a fifth [part] of it thereto; to the price, set upon a fifth part of that over and above the sum; this the sanctifier, or he that made the vow, was obliged to pay, if he thought fit to redeem it:
or if it be not redeemed; by him, he does not choose to give the price, and the fifth part:
then it shall be sold according to thy estimation; to another man, without the fifth part, that chooses to purchase it, and then the purchase money was laid out for sacred uses.
