Leviticus 27

Commentary

Leviticus 27 is a chapter of the Bible that outlines the regulations for the valuation of persons and property that are dedicated to the Lord. The chapter begins by stating that any person who is devoted to the Lord can be redeemed, but the price of redemption must be determined according to the age and gender of the person. The chapter then goes on to discuss the valuation of animals, houses, and fields that are devoted to the Lord. The valuation of these items is based on the number of years until the Jubilee year, when all property is returned to its original owner. The chapter also outlines the regulations for the redemption of these items, as well as the regulations for the redemption of a firstborn animal. Overall, Leviticus 27 provides a detailed set of regulations for the valuation and redemption of persons and property that are devoted to the Lord. These regulations are important for ensuring that the Lord's property is properly valued and that the rights of the original owners are respected. This chapter serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring the Lord's property and of respecting the rights of others.
