Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if it [be] a female,.... That is, of the same age, full twenty years of age, and not more than sixty:

then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels; about three pounds ten shillings of our money, the price of a servant, Exodus 21:32; the reason of this difference of estimation between a man and a woman is, because the woman is the weaker vessel, and her labour and service of less importance and worth, such as spinning, washing, &c.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The relative values of the persons appear to be regulated according to an estimate of the probable value of their future work:

Ages	Male	Female
From a month to five years of age	5 shekels	3 shekels
From five years to twenty of age	20 shekels	10 shekels
From forty years to sixty of age	50 shekels	30 shekels
Sixty years of age and older:	15 shekels	10 shekels

As regards the shekel of the sanctuary, see Exodus 38:24 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 27:4. And if it be a female — The woman, at the same age, vowed unto the Lord, might be redeemed for thirty shekels, 4£. 10s. sterling, a little more than one half of the value of the man; for this obvious reason, that a woman, if employed, could not be of so much use in the service of the sanctuary as the man, and was therefore of much less value.
