1Y Jehová habló a Moisés, diciendo: 2Habla a los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cuando alguno hiciere voto especial a Jehová, según la estimación de las personas que se hayan de redimir, así será tu estimación. 3En cuanto al varón de veinte años hasta sesenta, tu estimación será cincuenta siclos de plata, según el siclo del santuario. 4Y si fuere mujer, la estimación será treinta siclos. 5Y si fuere de cinco años hasta veinte, tu estimación será, por el varón veinte siclos, y por la mujer diez siclos. 6Y si fuere de un mes hasta cinco años, tu estimación será, por el varón cinco siclos de plata; y por la mujer será tu estimación tres siclos de plata. 7Mas si fuere de sesenta años arriba, por el varón tu estimación será quince siclos, y por la mujer diez siclos. 8Pero si fuere más pobre que tu estimación, entonces comparecerá ante el sacerdote, y el sacerdote le fijará tasa; conforme a la posibilidad del que hizo el voto le fijará tasa el sacerdote. 9Y si fuere animal de los que se ofrece ofrenda a Jehová, todo lo que de él se diere a Jehová será sagrado. 10No será mudado ni trocado, bueno por malo, ni malo por bueno; y si se permutare un animal por otro, él y el dado por él en cambio serán sagrados. 11Y si fuere algún animal inmundo, de que no se ofrece ofrenda a Jehová, entonces el animal será puesto delante del sacerdote: 12Y el sacerdote lo apreciará, sea bueno o sea malo; conforme a la estimación del sacerdote, así será. 13Y si lo hubieren de redimir, añadirán la quinta parte sobre tu valuación. 14Y cuando alguno santificare su casa consagrándola a Jehová, la apreciará el sacerdote, sea buena o sea mala: según la apreciare el sacerdote, así quedará. 15Mas si el santificante redimiere su casa, añadirá a tu valuación la quinta parte del dinero de ella, y será suya. 16Y si alguno santificare de la tierra de su posesión a Jehová, tu estimación será conforme a su siembra; un homer de siembra de cebada se apreciará en cincuenta siclos de plata. 17Y si santificare su tierra desde el año del jubileo, conforme a tu estimación quedará. 18Mas si después del jubileo santificare su tierra, entonces el sacerdote hará la cuenta del dinero conforme a los años que quedaren hasta el año del jubileo, y se rebajará de tu estimación. 19Y si el que santificó la tierra quisiere redimirla, añadirá a tu estimación la quinta parte del dinero de ella, y se le quedará para él. 20Mas si él no redimiere la tierra, y la tierra se vendiere a otro, no la redimirá más; 21sino que cuando saliere en el jubileo, la tierra será santa a Jehová, como tierra consagrada: la posesión de ella será del sacerdote. 22Y si santificare alguno a Jehová la tierra que él compró, que no era de la tierra de su herencia, 23entonces el sacerdote calculará con él la suma de tu estimación hasta el año del jubileo, y aquel día dará tu estimación como cosa consagrada a Jehová. 24En el año del jubileo, volverá la tierra a aquél de quien él la compró, cuya es la herencia de la tierra. 25Y todo lo que apreciares será conforme al siclo del santuario: el siclo tiene veinte geras. 26Pero el primogénito de los animales, que por la primogenitura es de Jehová, nadie lo santificará; sea buey u oveja, de Jehová es. 27Mas si fuere de los animales inmundos, lo redimirán conforme a tu estimación, y añadirán sobre ella la quinta parte; y si no lo redimieren, se venderá conforme a tu estimación. 28Pero ninguna cosa consagrada, que alguno hubiere santificado a Jehová de todo lo que tuviere, de hombres y animales, y de las tierras de su posesión, no se venderá, ni se redimirá: todo lo consagrado será cosa santísima a Jehová. 29Ningún anatema consagrado de hombres podrá ser redimido: indefectiblemente ha de ser muerto. 30Y todos los diezmos de la tierra, así de la semilla de la tierra como del fruto de los árboles, de Jehová son; es cosa consagrada a Jehová. 31Y si alguno quisiere redimir algo de sus diezmos, añadirá una quinta parte a ello. 32Y todo diezmo de vacas o de ovejas, de todo lo que pasa bajo la vara, el diezmo será consagrado a Jehová. 33No mirará si es bueno o malo, ni lo cambiará; y si lo cambiare, ello y su cambio serán cosas santas; no se redimirá. 34Éstos son los mandamientos que ordenó Jehová a Moisés, para los hijos de Israel, en el monte de 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.
