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 priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad,.... Put a price upon it according to its worth, as it shall appear to him:

as thou valuest it, [who art] the priest, so shall it be; that shall be the price at which it shall be sold, not to the owner or devoter of it, for he must give more, as appears from Leviticus 27:13; but, as Jarchi observes, to all other men who come to purchase it.
