Contextual Overview

¹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: ² Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: If any man wyl make a singuler vowe of a person vnto the Lorde, by thy estimation, ³ Then thy estimation shalbe [thus]: Of the male from twentie yeres olde vnto sixtie, shalbe by thy estimation fiftie sicles of siluer, after the sicle of the sanctuarie: ⁴ And if it be a female, then thy valuation shalbe thirtie sicles. ⁵ And from fiue yeres to twentie, thy valuation shalbe of the male twentie sicles, and of the female ten sicles. ⁶ And from a moneth vnto fiue yeres, thy estimation shalbe of the male at fiue sicles of siluer, and the female at three sicles of siluer. ⁷ And from sixtie yeres olde and aboue, if he be a male, then thy price shalbe fifteene sicles, and for the female ten sicles. ⁸ But if he be poorer then thou hast esteemed hym, he shall present hym selfe before the priest, and the priest shall value hym: accordyng as the hande of hym that vowed is able to get, euen so shall the priest value hym. ⁹ If it be a beast of which men bryng an offeryng vnto the Lorde, all that any man geueth of such vnto the Lord, shalbe holy. ¹⁰ He shall not alter it, nor chaunge it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: And if he chaunge beast for beast, then both the same beast and it also wherwith it was chaunged, shalbe holy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if [it be] from a month old even unto five years old,.... That is, if a man devotes his child to the Lord within such an age, and says, the estimation of this my son or my daughter be upon me, then he was to pay the value, as next directed; for one under a month old no estimation was to be made: the Jews say,

"one less than a mouth old may be vowed, but not estimated o:''

then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver; somewhat more than ten shillings:

and for the female thy estimation [shall be] three shekels of silver; about seven shillings, which is the least value put on any; and though the lives of male or female at this age are equally uncertain, and the service of either of little worth when near the full time fixed; yet the preference is given to the male, as being of the more perfect kind, and its life generally most desirable.

o Misn. Eracin, c. 1. sect. 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 27:6. A month old — The male child, five shekels, 15s., the female, three shekels, 9s. Being both in comparative infancy, they were nearly of an equal value. None were vowed under a month old: the first-born being always considered as the Lord's property, could not be vowed, see Leviticus 27:26.
