One Tenth of the Flock and Fruit Tree is the Lord's 27:1 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the (Gemini) children of Israel, and (red radius) say unto them, When a man shall (red radius) make a singular vow, the (Gemini) persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation.. 3 And thy estimation shall be of the (Castor) male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of (lunar white) silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 4 And if it be a (Pollux) female, then thy estimation shall be thirty (lunar) shekels.. 5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the (Castor) male twenty (lunar) shekels, and for the (Pollux) female ten (lunar) shekels. 6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the (Castor) male five shekels of (lunar) silver, and for the (Pollux) female thy estimation shall be three shekels of (lunar) silver. 7 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a (Castor) male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen (lunar) shekels, and for the (Pollux) female ten (lunar) 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 (Aries or Taurus) beast, whereof (Gemini) men bring an offering unto the (Shekinah) Lord, all that any man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy. 10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a (lunar) good for a (lunar) bad, or a (lunar) bad for a (lunar) 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 (Cetus, Ursa Minor, Big Dog, Small Dog), of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the (Shekinah) 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 (20%). 14 And when a man shall sanctify his (red radius) 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 (red radius) house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it (20%), and it shall be his. 16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the (Shekinah) Lord some part of a (red radius) field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the (lunar or solar) seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of (lunar) silver. 17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand. 18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation. 19 And if he that sanctified the (red radius) field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it (20%), and it shall be assured to him. 20 And if he will not redeem the (red radius) field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. 21 But the (red radius) field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the (Shekinah) Lord, as a (red radius) field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's. 22 And if a man sanctify unto the (Shekinah) Lord a (red radius) field which he hath bought, which is not of the (red radius) fields of his possession; 23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubilee: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the (Shekinah) Lord. 24 In the year of the jubilee the (red radius) field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the (red radius) land did belong. 25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the (lunar silver) shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the (lunar silver) shekel. 26 Only the firstling of the (Aries or Taurus) beasts, which should be the (Shekinah) Lord's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be (Taurus) ox, or (Aries) sheep: it is the (Shekinah) Lord's. 27 And if it be of an unclean beast (Big Dog, Little Dog), then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto (20%): 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 (Castor) man and (Taurus) beast, and of the (red radius) field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the (Shekinah) Lord. 29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of (Gemini) men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to (Perseus) (red radius) death. 30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the (lunar 10%) seed of the land, or of the (lunar 10%) fruit of the tree, is the (Shekinah) 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 (lunar 10% + lunar 10%). 32 And concerning the tithe of the (Taurus) herd, or of the (Aries) flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the (red radius) rod, the (lunar) tenth shall be holy unto the (Shekinah) Lord. 33 He shall not (lunar eyeballs) search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it (lunar 10%) at all, then both it (lunar 10%) and the change thereof (lunar 10%) shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. 34 These are the commandments, which the (Shekinah) Lord commanded (Ophiuchus) Moses for the (Gemini) children of Israel in (red radius) mount Sinai. |
