“And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.”
For a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels and of a female at ten shekels. The child and adolescent valuation (5–20 years): twenty shekels for males, ten shekels for females. The lower valuation for the younger age range reflects the lower economic productivity of children and adolescents compared to prime working-age adults. The graduated valuation table by age and gender creates a complete system for every person who might be the subject of a vow.
