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] 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.
