Contextual Overview
1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Speak to the people of Israel and tell them: ‘If someone makes a special promise to give a person as a servant to the Lord by paying a price that is the same value as that person, 3 the price for a man twenty to sixty years old is about one and one-fourth pounds of silver. (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.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
twenty shekels: i.e. 3, sterling
ten shekels: i.e. 1, 10s. sterling Leviticus 27:5
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if [it be] from five years old, even unto to twenty years old,.... Not that one of five years old is supposed to vow or to make an estimation, but one grown up, that says, the estimation of this little one, who is five years of age, be upon me; and such an one was bound to pay the value of him, which is as follows:
then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels; which were for the one above two pounds, and for the other more than one pound; these were valued at a less price than the former, partly because, generally speaking, there are more die between the age of five and the age of twenty years than between twenty and sixty; and partly because within that time they are not capable of so much work and service as in the latter; and it may be observed, that the females of this age are not valued in proportion to the females of the other; the estimation of these being just half that of the males, whereas that of the other is more than half; the reason is, that women above twenty years of age, their service bears, a better proportion to that of men, than that of young women to young men under twenty.
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 27:5. From five years old — The boy that was vowed might be redeemed for twenty shekels, 3£. sterling; the girl, for ten shekels, just one half, 1£. 10s.
