KJB-1611 1 He that maketh a singular vow must bee the LORDs. 2 The estimation of the person. 9 Of a beast giuen by vow. 14 Of a house. 16 Of a field and the redemption thereof. 28 No deuoted thing may be redeemed. 32 The tithe may not be changed.
(1 He that maketh a singular vow must be the LORDs. 2 The estimation of the person. 9 Of a beast given by vow. 14 Of a house. 16 Of a field and the redemption thereof. 28 No deuoted thing may be redeemed. 32 The tithe may not be changed.)
This chapter explains rules about vows and dedications to Yahweh: 1) Valuation of people dedicated to God (27:1-8) 2) Valuation of animals (27:9-13) 3) Valuation of houses and land (27:14-25) 4) Special cases and exceptions (27:26-34) - Firstborn animals - Devoted things - Tithes
The chapter uses several specific values:- Ages: “from one month to five years,” “from five to twenty years”- Money: “shekels of the holy place”- Volume: “homer of barley”- Consider using local measurements if helpful
Many rules use passive form. Your language might need to say who does the action:- “It shall not be redeemed” → “No one may buy it back”- “It shall be sold” → “The priest must sell it”- “They shall be put to death” → “You must execute them”
Several phrases appear multiple times:- “Your valuation” (refers to priest’s assessment)- “Redeeming he will redeem” (emphasizes certainty)- “According to your valuation”- Use consistent translations for these phrases
The chapter uses specialized religious terms:- “Devoted thing” means permanently dedicated- “Field of possession” means inherited land- “Field of purchase” means bought land- Consider explaining these terms in footnotes
The chapter explains different types of dedication:- Voluntary vows to God- Dedication of property- Permanent vs. redeemable gifts- Shows commitment to God
The priest’s role in valuation:- Set standard values for people- Adjusted for poor people- Evaluated property condition- Shows fairness and mercy
Different rules for different properties:- Inherited land had special status- Purchased land treated differently- Some dedications were permanent- Shows importance of family inheritance
Some things automatically belonged to God:- Firstborn animals- Devoted things- Tithes of crops and animals- Shows God’s ultimate ownership(See: vow, consecrate, and firstborn)
