Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall vow a vow as the valuation of his soul for the Lord,

And the valuation of a female shall be thirty shekels.

And from a month old to five years old, the valuation of a male shall be five shekels, and of a female, three shekels of silver.

And if the man is too poor for the valuation, he shall stand before the priest; and the priest shall value him: according to what the man who has vowed can afford, the priest shall value him.

He shall not change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he shall change it, a beast for a beast, it and the substitute shall be holy.

And the priest shall make a valuation between the good and the bad, and accordingly as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

And whatsoever man shall consecrate his house as holy to the Lord, the priest shall make a valuation of it between the good and the bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

And if a man should hallow to the Lord a part of the field of his possession, then the valuation shall be according to its seed, fifty shekels of silver for a homer of barley.

And if he should sanctify his field in the latter time after the release, the priest shall reckon to him the money for the remaining years, until the [next] year of release, and it shall be deducted as an equivalent from his full valuation.

And if he does not redeem the field, but should sell the field to another man, he shall not afterwards redeem it.

And if he should consecrate to the Lord of a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,

And in the year of release the land shall be restored to the man of whom the other bought it, whose the possession of the land was.

And every firstborn which shall be produced among your cattle shall be the Lord's, and no man shall sanctify it: whether calf or sheep, it is the Lord's.

And every dedicated thing which a man shall dedicate to the Lord of all that he has, whether man or beast, or of the field of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor redeem it: every devoted thing shall be most holy to the Lord.

Every tithe of the land, both of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of trees, is the Lord's, holy to the Lord.

And every tithe of oxen, and of sheep, and whatsoever may come in numbering under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord.

These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel on Mount Sinai.

And the men said to her, Our life for yours, [even] unto death. And she said, When the Lord has delivered the city to you, you shall deal mercifully and truly with me.

And Joshua made peace with them, and they made a covenant with them to preserve them; and the princes of the congregation swore to them.

if then you have done truly and faithfully with Jerubbaal, and with his house this day, [then] rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice over you.

then it shall come to pass that whosoever shall first come out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, he shall be the Lord's: I will offer him up for a whole burnt offering.

What shall we do for wives for the rest that remain? Whereas we have sworn by the Lord, not to give them of our daughters for wives.

For we shall not be able to give them wives of our daughters, because we swore among the children of Israel, saying, Cursed is he that gives a wife to Benjamin.

And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if You will indeed look upon the humiliation of Your maidservant and remember me, and give to your maidservant a male child, then will I indeed dedicate him to You till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.

And Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he placed a curse on the people, saying, Cursed is the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy. And none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining.

And the people went into the place of the bees, and behold, they continued speaking; but there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord.

And one of the people answered and said, Your father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed is the man who shall eat bread today. And the people were very faint,

[ 24:22] Now then swear to me by the Lord, that you will not destroy my seed after me, that you will not blot out my name from the house of my father.

[ 24:23] So David swore to Saul. And Saul departed to his place, and David and his men went up to the stronghold of Messera.

But the king spared Memphibosheth son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

And he said, God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha shall stand upon him this day.

how he swore to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],

I will not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids, nor rest to my temples,

Be not hasty with your mouth, and let not your heart be swift to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven above, and you [are] on earth; therefore let your words be few.

Whenever you shall vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for [He has] no pleasure in fools. Pay, therefore, whatsoever you have vowed.

Do not allow your mouth to lead your flesh to sin; and say not in the presence of God, It was an error; lest God be angry at your voice, and destroy the works of your hands.

Whereas he has profaned the oath so as to break the covenant, when behold, I engage his hand, and he has done all these things to him, he shall not escape.

Therefore say, Thus says the Lord: [As] I live, surely My oath which he has profaned, and My covenant which he has transgressed, I will even recompense it upon his head.

Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

And the king was grieved, but because of the oaths, and because of those who reclined [to eat] with him, he commanded it to be given.

He also swore to her, "Whatever you may ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
