And yet for all that when
they be in the land of their enemies, I will not so cast them away
nor my soul shall not so abhor them, that I will utterly destroy
them and break mine appointment with them: for I am the LORD their
God. I will therefore remember unto them the first covenant made
when I brought them out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the
heathen to be their God: for I am the LORD. These are the
ordinances, judgements, and laws which the LORD made between him
and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
Chapter .xxvij.
And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the children of
Israel and say unto them: If any man will give a singular vow unto
the LORD according to the value of his soul, then shall the male
from twenty years unto forty be set at fifty sicles of silver,
after the sicle of the sanctuary, and the female at thirty sicles.
And from five years to twenty the male shall be set at twenty
sicles, and the female at ten sicles. And from a month unto five
years, the male shall be set at five sicles of silver, and the
female at three. And the man that is forty and above, shall be
valued at fifteen sicles, and the woman at ten. If he be too poor
so to be set, then let him come before the priest: and let the
priest value him, according as the hand of him that vowed is able
to get.
