THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: He said, "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them, If anyone wants to vow the value of a person to the service of God , set the value of a man between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the Sanctuary shekel. For a woman the valuation is thirty shekels. If the person is between the ages of five and twenty, set the value at twenty shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female. If the person is between one month and five years, set the value at five shekels of silver for a boy and three shekels of silver for a girl. If the person is over sixty, set the value at fifteen shekels for a man and ten shekels for a woman. If anyone is too poor to pay the stated amount, he is to present the person to the priest, who will then set the value for him according to what the person making the vow can afford.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Again, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Contextual Overview

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 "Say to the sons of Israel, ‘When a man makes a special promise, you will decide upon the worth of this person for the Lord. 3 The price you put on a man from twenty to sixty years old will be fifty pieces of silver, by the weight of the holy place. 4 For a woman it will be thirty pieces of silver. 5 For a male from five to twenty years old it will be twenty pieces of silver. For a woman it will be ten pieces of silver. 6 Your price for a child from one month to five years old will be five pieces of silver for the boy, and three pieces of silver for the girl. 7 Your price for a person sixty years old and older will be fifteen pieces of silver for the man, and ten pieces of silver for the woman. 8 But if the person is too poor to pay your price, he will be brought to the religious leader. The religious leader will decide the worth of the person by how much he who made the promise is able to pay. 9 ‘If it is a kind of animal which men give as a gift to the Lord, any such animal that is given to the Lord will be holy. 10 He must not have another animal take its place, good for bad or bad for good. If he does trade one animal for another, then both animals will become holy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... After he had delivered the body of laws in the preceding chapter, which by the close of the last seem to have been finished; but here some rules and instructions concerning vows are given, which a man was not obliged to make, but which he did of his own freewill and good pleasure: saying; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Dues. The position which this chapter holds after the formal conclusion, Leviticus 26:46, suggests that it is of a supplementary character. There seems, however, no reason to doubt its Mosaic origin.
