Contextual Overview
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation. 3 If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sicles of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary: 4 If a woman, thirty. 5 But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten. 6 From one month until the fifth year, for a male shall be given five sicles: for a female three. 7 A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen sicles: a woman ten. 8 If he be poor, and not able to pay the estimation, he shall stand before the priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give. 9 But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if any one shall vow, shall be holy, 10 And cannot be changed: that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.

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.
