The Lord said to Moses. The vow and dedication regulations of Leviticus 27 are appended to the Holiness Code after the blessings-and-curses conclusion of chapter 26. The appendix character of chapter 27 communicates that the vow regulations are not part of the Holiness Code's systematic structure but are a practical addition addressing the community's voluntary commitments to God. The covenant community's voluntary religious obligations require the same legal precision as its mandatory ones.
