(You must use the measure as set by the Holy Place.) ⁴ The price for a woman twenty to sixty years old is about twelve ounces of silver. ⁵ The price for a man five to twenty years old is about eight ounces of silver; for a woman it is about four ounces of silver. ⁶ The price for a baby boy one month to five years old is about two ounces of silver; for a baby girl the price is about one and one-half ounces of silver. ⁷ The price for a man sixty years old or older is about six ounces of silver; for a woman it is about four ounces of silver. ⁸ "‘If anyone is too poor to pay the price, bring him to the priest, and the priest will set the price. The priest will decide how much money the person making the vow can afford to pay. ⁹ "‘Some animals may be used as sacrifices to the Lord . If someone promises to bring one of these to the Lord , it will become holy. ¹⁰ That person must not try to put another animal in its place or exchange it, a good animal for a bad one, or a bad animal for a good one. If this happens, both animals will become holy.

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.
