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.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if [it be] from sixty years old and above,.... When man is almost past his labour, and it is high time to leave off business;

if [it be] a male, then thy estimation shall between shekels; about one pound fifteen shillings:

and for the female ten shekels; about one pound three shillings; it may be observed that there is not the disproportion between a man and a woman in old age as in youth, with respect to the estimation of them; the reason of which is, because there is but little difference in their labour and service; nay, sometimes the woman is most useful and serviceable; for when a man, through age, is quite worn out and his labour gone, an older woman is capable of managing the affairs of the family, and is of great use and service, either by directing and advising, or by doing: so Jarchi observes, when persons come to old age, a woman is nearly to be reckoned as a man, and quotes a proverb of theirs, an old man in a house is a broken potsherd in the house (some interpret the word, a snare or stumbling block, that is in the way); an old woman in a house is a treasure in a house, a good sign in a house p, of great use in the management of the affairs of the family.

p T. Bab. Eracin, fol. 19. 1. vid. Yalkut, par. 1. fol. 198. 1.

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 27:7. Sixty years old — The old man and the old woman, being nearly past labour, were nearly of an equal value; hence the one was estimated at fifteen shekels, 2£. 5s., the other at ten shekels, 1£. 10s. This was about the same ratio as that of the children, Leviticus 27:5, and for the same reason.
