“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.”
Speak to the Israelites and say to them: if anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the Lord by giving the equivalent value. The vow to dedicate a person to the Lord — a commitment to give a person to the sanctuary's service (like Hannah's vow in 1 Samuel 1:11) or to pay their value in silver — requires a precise valuation system. The equivalent value — the redemption price — is what the chapter will establish for persons, animals, houses, and land.
