1Y HABLÓ Jehová a Moisés, diciendo: 2Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: Cuando alguno hiciere un voto especial, prometiendo dar, según tu avalúo, personas a Jehová; 3si tu avalúo fuere respecto de varón, desde la edad de veinte años hasta la edad de sesenta años, tu valuación será de cincuenta siclos de plata, según el ciclo del Santuario. 4Mas si fuere respecto de hembra, será tu valuación de treinta siclos. 5Y si fuere la persona de edad de cinco años hasta la edad de veinte años, será tu avalúo, de varón veinte siclos, y de hembra, diez siclos. 6Y si fuere de la edad de un mes hasta la edad de cinco años, será tu avalúo, de varón cinco siclos de plata; y de hembra será tu avalúo tres siclos de plata. 7Y si fuere de edad de sesenta años arriba, si fuere varón, será tu valuación quince siclos, y de hembra, diez siclos. 8Pero si fuere demasiado pobre para pagar tu valuación, se le hará presentar delante del sacerdote, y el sacerdote le apreciará; a razón de lo que pudieren alcanzar los recursos del votante, le tasará el sacerdote. 9¶Y si fuere alguna bestia doméstica de las cuales se pueda presentar oblación a Jehová, todo lo que de las tales se diere a Jehová será santo: 10no se mudará ni se trocará, ni bueno por malo, ni malo por bueno; y si de manera alguna se trocare una bestia por otra, entonces tanto ella como su trueque quedarán santos. 11Mas si fuere cualquiera bestia inmunda de las cuales no se pueda presentar oblación a Jehová, se hará presentar la bestia delante del sacerdote; 12y la avaluará el sacerdote, sea buena o mala; según tu avalúo (es decir, del sacerdote) así quedará. 13Y si el votante quisiere redimirla, añada la quinta parte de ella sobre tu valuación. 14¶Asimismo cuando alguno santificare su casa, para que sea santa a Jehová, la avaluará el sacerdote, sea buena o mala; conforme la avaluare el sacerdote, así quedará. 15Y si el que la santificó quisiere redimir su casa, añada la quinta parte del dinero de tu valuación sobre ella, y será suya. 16Y si santificare alguna parte del campo de su posesión a Jehová, será tu avalúo a razón de la simiente de su sembradura: la sembradura de un homer de cebada, se tasará en cincuenta siclos de plata. 17Si desde el año mismo del jubileo santificare su campo, conforme a tu valuación quedará. 18Mas si santificare su campo después del jubileo, el sacerdote hará el cómputo del dinero a razón de los años que quedaren hasta el año del jubileo; y se rebajará de tu avalúo la parte correspondiente. 19Mas si el que santificó el campo quisiere redimirlo, añada la quinta parte del dinero de tu valuación sobre ella, y se quedará para él. 20Pero si no quisiere redimir el campo, o si el sacerdote hubiere vendido el campo a otro hombre, él no podrá redimirlo más; 21sino que el campo, cuando saliere en el jubileo, será santo a Jehová, como campo apartado irrevocablemente para Jehová; la posesión de él será del sacerdote. 22Si alguno santificare a Jehová campo que compró, que no fuere del campo de su posesión propia, 23el sacerdote le hará el cómputo del importe de tu valuación hasta el año del jubileo; y él pagará tu avalúo ese mimo día, como cosa santa a Jehová. 24En el año del jubileo volverá el campo a aquel de quien el lo hubiere comprado, al mismo a quien pertenece la posesión de la tierra. 25Y todas tus valuaciones serán en siclos del Santuario; veinte geras son un siclo. 26¶Esto empero, los primogénitos de los animales que por primogenitura son de Jehová, nadie los podrá santificar; sea ganado vacuno o sea ovejuno, son ya de Jehová. 27Y si fuere bestia doméstica inmunda, y él la quisiere redimir según tu avalúo, añada la quinta parte sobre ese valor; mas si no se redimiere, sea vendida conforme a tu valuación. 28¶Esto empero también, ninguna cosa dedicada, que alguno apartare irrevocablemente para Jehová, de todo lo que fuere suyo propio, ora sea hombre, ora bestia o campo de su posesión, no podrá venderse ni redimirse: toda cosa apartada irrevocablemente es sacratísima a Jehová. 29Cualquier ser humano que fuere apartado irrevocablemente, no podrá ser redimido; será muerto irremisiblemente. 30¶Todo el diezmo de la tierra, así de la simiente de la tierra como del fruto de los árboles, ya es de Jehová; ya es santo a Jehová. 31Y si alguno quisiere redimir cualquiera parte de su diezmo, añada su quinta parte sobre ella. 32Asimismo respecto de todo el diezmo de la vacada o del rebaño; de todo lo que pasare bajo la vara, al contarlos, cada décimo animal será santo a Jehová. 33No se ha de mirar si es bueno o malo, ni se ha de trocar; y si de manera alguna se trocare, tanto él como su trueque serán santos: no podrán redimirse. 34¶Estos son los mandamientos que prescribió Jehová a Moisés, para los hijos de Israel, en el monte Sinaí.

Num 6:30), or the devoting of something to the Lord, as sacrifices (
Lev 7:16,) or the value of persons, beasts, houses, or lands, concerning which the law is here given. A man might vow or devote himself, his children, his domestics, his cattle, his goods, etc.; and respecting the redemption of all these, rules are laid down in this chapter. But if, after consecrating these things, he refused to redeem them, they then became the Lord's property forever. The persons continued all their lives devoted to the sanctuary, the goods were sold for the profit of the temple, or the priests; and the animals, if clean, were offered in sacrifice; and if not proper for sacrifice, were sold, and the proceeds devoted to sacred uses. This is a general view of the different laws relative to vows, mentioned in this chapter.

Heb 12:25CONCLUDING REMARKS.
Thus terminates this most interesting and important book; a book containing a code of sacrificial, ceremonial, civil, and judicial laws, which, for the purity of their morality, the wisdom, justice, and beneficence of their enactments, and the simplicity, dignity, and impressive nature of their rites, are perfectly unrivalled, and altogether worthy of their Divine Author. All the rites and ceremonies of the Mosaic law are at once dignified and expressive. They point out the holiness of their Author, the sinfulness of man, the necessity of an atonement, and the state of moral excellence to which the grace and mercy of the Creator have destined to raise the human soul. They include, as well as point out, the gospel of the Son of God; from which they receive their consummation and perfection. The sacrifices and oblations were significant of the atonement of Christ; the requisite qualities of these sacrifices were emblematical of his immaculate character; and the prescribed mode in the form of these offerings, and the mystical rites ordained, were allusive institutions, calculated to enlighten the apprehensions of the Jews, and to prepare them for the reception of the Gospel. The institution of the high priesthood typified Jesus, the Great High Priest, called and prepared of God, who hath an unchangeable priesthood, and is able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God by him.
