Contextual Overview

1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Tell the Israelites: You might promise to give someone to the Lord as a servant. The priest must set a price for that person. 3 The price for a man from 20 to 60 years old is 50 shekels of silver. (You must use the official measure for the silver.) 4 The price for a woman who is 20 to 60 years old is 30 shekels. 5 The price for a man from 5 to 20 years old is 20 shekels. For a woman the price is 10 shekels. 6 The price for a boy from one month to five years old is 5 shekels. For a girl, the price is 3 shekels. 7 The price for a man who is 60 years old or older is 15 shekels. The price for a woman is 10 shekels. 8 "If anyone is too poor to pay the price, bring that person to the priest. The priest will decide how much money the person can afford to pay. 9 "You might promise to give an animal to the Lord. If it is a clean animal—one that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord —then the animal you bring will become holy. 10 You must not put any other animal in its place. Don't try to trade a good animal for a bad one or a bad animal for a good one. If you try to change animals, both animals will become holy—they will both belong to the Lord.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But if he will at all redeem it,.... The owner of it, or he that has devoted it, if he is determined to have it again at any rate:

then he shall add a fifth [part] thereof unto thy estimation; he shall give the full price for it, as rated by the priest, and for which it might be sold to another man, and a fifth part of the value of it besides; this was done that the full price might be paid for it, the priest not knowing, as it might be, the worth of it so well as the owner; and that the value of consecrated things might be kept to, and to make men careful how and what they devoted, since, though redeemable, they were obliged to pay a large price for them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 27:13. Shall add a fifth part] 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 the consecrated thing. Thus, if the priest valued it at forty shekels, if the former owner redeemed it he was obliged to give forty-eight.
