Leviticus 27
Leviticus 27:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow,
the persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation.
3 And thy
estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years
old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel
of the sanctuary.
4 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall
be thirty shekels.
5 And if it be from five years old even unto
twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels,
and for the female ten shekels.
6 And if it be from a month old even
unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels
of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of
silver.
7 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a
male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten
shekels.
8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall
present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according
to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
9 And if it be
a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the Lord, all that any man
giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy.
10 He shall not alter it,
nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all
change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a
sacrifice unto the Lord, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou
valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
13 But if he will at
all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the Lord,
then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest
shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
15 And if he that sanctified it
will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy
estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
16 And if a man shall
sanctify unto the Lord some part of a field of his possession, then thy
estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed
shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
17 If he sanctify his
field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall
reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the
year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
19
And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he
shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it
shall be assured to him.
20 And if he will not redeem the field, or
if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto
the Lord, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.
22 And if a man sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought,
which is not of the fields of his possession;
23 Then the priest
shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the
jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto
the Lord.
24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto
him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land
did belong.
25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the
shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
26 Only
the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord's firstling, no man
shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the Lord's.
27
And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine
estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not
redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
28
Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of
all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession,
shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.
29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but
shall surely be put to death.
30 And all the tithe of the land,
whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's:
it is holy unto the Lord.
31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of
his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
32 And
concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever
passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.
33 He
shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and
if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy;
it shall not be redeemed.
34 These are the commandments, which the
Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
