Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel. The consistent monetary standard — the sanctuary shekel of twenty gerahs — applies to all the vow valuations. The consistent standard communicates the covenant's commitment to honest and transparent transactions in every category of dedicated property. The same sanctuary shekel that was the standard for the census tax (Exodus 30:13) and the guilt offering restitution is the standard for every vow valuation.
