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,

the valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be- his valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver by the standard of the sanctuary.

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.

And whatever shall be dedicated of men, shall not be ransomed, but shall be surely put to death.

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 I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,

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 Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, you shall surely die today.

I will go into Your house with whole burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows,

which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.

And if it be any unclean beast, of which none are offered as a gift to the Lord, he shall set the beast before the priest.

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.

You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog into the house of the Lord your God, for any vow, because even both are an abomination to the Lord your God.

I will go into Your house with whole burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows,

But the transgressor that sacrifices a calf to Me, is as he that kills a dog; and he that offers fine flour, as [one that offers] swine's blood; he that gives frankincense for a memorial, is as a blasphemer. Yet they have chosen their own ways, and their soul has delighted in their abominations.
