1[1] Habló Jehová a Moisés y le dijo: 2"Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: Cuando alguien haga un voto especial a Jehová,[2] según la estimación de las personas que se hayan de redimir, lo estimarás así: 3Al hombre de veinte años hasta sesenta, lo estimarás en cincuenta siclos de plata, según el siclo del santuario. 4Si es mujer, la estimarás en treinta siclos. 5Si tiene entre cinco y veinte años de edad, al hombre lo estimarás en veinte siclos, y a la mujer en diez siclos. 6Entre un mes y cinco años de edad, entonces estimarás al hombre en cinco siclos de plata, y a la mujer en tres siclos de plata. 7Pero si tiene sesenta años de edad o más, al hombre lo estimarás en quince siclos, y a la mujer en diez siclos. 8Pero si es muy pobre para pagar tu estimación, entonces será llevado ante el sacerdote, quien fijará el precio; conforme a la posibilidad del que hizo el voto, le fijará precio el sacerdote.[3] 9"Si se trata de un animal de los que se pueden ofrecer a Jehová, todo lo que de los tales se dé a Jehová será santo. 10No será cambiado ni trocado, bueno por malo, ni malo por bueno; y si se permuta un animal por otro, tanto él como su sustituto serán sagrados. 11"Si se trata de algún animal inmundo, de los que no se pueden ofrecer a Jehová, entonces el animal será puesto delante del sacerdote, 12y el sacerdote lo valorará, sea bueno o sea malo; conforme a la estimación del sacerdote, así será. 13Y si lo quiere rescatar, añadirá a tu valuación la quinta parte. 14"Cuando alguien dedique su casa consagrándola a Jehová, la valorará el sacerdote, sea buena o sea mala; según la valore el sacerdote, así quedará. 15Pero si el que dedicó su casa desea rescatarla, añadirá a tu valuación la quinta parte de su valor, y será suya. 16"Si alguien dedica una parte de la tierra de su posesión a Jehová, tu estimación será conforme a su siembra: un homer de siembra de cebada se valorará en cincuenta siclos de plata. 17Y si dedica su tierra desde el año del jubileo, conforme a tu estimación quedará. 18Pero si después del jubileo dedica su tierra, entonces el sacerdote sacará la cuenta del dinero conforme a los años que queden hasta el año del jubileo,[4] y se rebajará de tu estimación. 19"Si el que dedicó la tierra quiere redimirla, añadirá a tu estimación la quinta parte de su precio, y así volverá a ser suyo. 20Pero si él no rescata la tierra, y la tierra se vende a otro, no la rescatará más, 21sino que cuando quede libre en el jubileo, la tierra será santa para Jehová, como tierra consagrada: será la posesión del sacerdote. 22"Si alguien dedica a Jehová un terreno que compró y que no forma parte 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 él pagará el precio señalado, como cosa consagrada a Jehová. 24En el año del jubileo volverá la tierra a aquel de quien él la compró, es decir, al verdadero heredero de la tierra. 25"Todo lo que valores será conforme al siclo del santuario; el siclo tiene veinte geras.[5] 26"Pero el primogénito de los animales, que por la primogenitura es de Jehová, nadie lo dedicará; sea buey u oveja, de Jehová es.[6] 27Si se trata de un animal inmundo, lo rescatarán conforme a tu estimación, y añadirán sobre ella la quinta parte de su precio; y si no lo rescatan, se venderá conforme a tu estimación. 28"No se venderá ni se rescatará ninguna cosa consagrada que alguien haya dedicado a Jehová; de todo lo que tenga, ya sea hombres, animales o tierras de su posesión, todo lo consagrado será cosa santísima para Jehová.[7] 29Ninguna persona separada como anatema podrá ser rescatada; indefectiblemente ha de ser muerta. 30"El diezmo de la tierra, tanto de la simiente de la tierra como del fruto de los árboles, es de Jehová: es cosa dedicada a Jehová.[8] 31Si alguien quiere rescatar algo del diezmo, añadirá la quinta parte de su precio por ello. 32"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 cambia, tanto él como el que se dio a cambio serán cosas sagradas: no podrán ser rescatados". 34Estos son los mandamientos que ordenó 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.
