Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 27:14-29

3. Vows concerning other property 27:14-29God treated houses (Leviticus 27:14-15) the same as unclean cattle (cf. Leviticus 27:11-12). He calculated land value in relationship to the year of jubilee. The people evidently were to pay for land they inherited and then vowed year by year (Leviticus 27:16-21). However they normally were to pay for land they purchased and then vowed in one payment (Leviticus 27:22-25). They could not vow first-born animals because these already belonged to God... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:1-34

Vows and Tithes and their Redemption1-29. Law of vows and their redemption.The making of vows is a very ancient and universal practice connected with prayer. In order to secure his desire the suppliant adds a vow to his prayer. Vows may be either positive or negative. A man may promise either to devote something to God, or to abstain from some comfort or necessary of life. Instances of the latter, vows of abstinence, are to be found in Numbers 6:1-21; Numbers 30; 1 Samuel 14:24; Psalms 132:2-5,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 27:28

(28) Notwithstanding no devoted thing.—Better, Nevertheless, no banned thing (see Leviticus 27:26), that is, unlike those things consecrated to God by the vow hitherto spoken of, anything which the vower devoted to God under a solemn ban cannot be redeemed.Both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession.—This shows the extent to which a man may go in exercising his power to devote things to God in this manner. He was perfectly at liberty to ban not only his cattle and his otherwise... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

CONCERNING VOWSLeviticus 27:1-34As already remarked, the book of Leviticus certainly seems, at first sight, to be properly completed with the previous chapter; and hence it has been not unnaturally suggested that this chapter has by some editor been transferred, either of intention or accident, from an earlier part of the book - as, e.g., after chapter 25. The question is one of no importance; but it is not hard to perceive a good reason for the position of this chapter after not only the rest... read more

EXCLUSIONS FROM THE VOWLeviticus 27:26-33"Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to the Lord, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s. And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation. Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, whether... read more

THE LAW OF THE BANLeviticus 27:28-29"Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord. None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death."Neither could any "devoted thing" be given to the Lord by a vow, and for the same reason-that it belonged to Him already. But it is... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:1-34

THE PERSONAL VOW (vv. 1-8) This was not a matter of a law requiring anything, but of a voluntary vow made to God. Though it was not required, yet when the vow was made, then it was absolutely required to be kept. If one were to consecrate to the Lord one of his family, the value of this was estimated in currency. A male from 20 to 60 years of age was estimated at 50 shekels of silver (v. 3). A female of the same age was valued at 30 shekels; a boy between 5 and 20 years was 20 shekels, and a... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

VOWS AND TITHES We have in this closing chapter a supplement to the whole book. Hitherto we dealt with obligations and duties resting on all Israelites alike, but now we come to vows of an additional and voluntary character (Deuteronomy 23:22 ). PERSONS MIGHT BE VOWED (Leviticus 27:1-8 ) The thought is, that persons might be vowed for service in the sanctuary; but since service could not be found for so large a number, and especially for young children, who might be vowed, there might be a... read more
