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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 27:9-13

Certainly the doctrine of redemption by the LORD JESUS is all along veiled, under this doctrine of vows and dedications: so that in every gift an eye is supposed to be had to this. All things are the LORD'S by right, and the redemption implies our forfeiture of all pretensions. Ecclesiastes 5:1 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:1-13

1-13 Zeal for the service of God disposed the Israelites, on some occasions, to dedicate themselves or their children to the service of the Lord, in his house for life. Some persons who thus dedicated themselves might be employed as assistants; in general they were to be redeemed for a value. It is good to be zealously affected and liberally disposed for the Lord's service; but the matter should be well weighed, and prudence should direct as to what we do; else rash vows and hesitation in doing... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 27:1-13

Of Men and Beasts v. 1. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, v. 2. Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, an exceptional, unusual, special promise to the Lord, which involved the offering of his own body to the Lord for some service in His worship, the persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation; the redemption from the obligations of the promise had to be made in accordance with the estimate given out, first by Moses and later by the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 27:1-34

In this final page of the Book of Leviticus we have something superadded to actual laws and yet of very vital importance. It is concerned with vows. A vow is a promise made to God voluntarily and not in obedience to any divine requirement. That is not to suggest that a vow is wrong. It expresses a devotion of the person or of property to the service of God beyond that which is demanded in the strict economy of relationship. It is not necessary therefore that any such vows should be made, but... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:9-13

The Price For Redemption of a Beast (Leviticus 27:9-13 ). Leviticus 27:9-10 “And if it be a beast, of which men offer an oblation to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh shall be holy. He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.” Any clean and sacrificial beast vowed to Yahweh was holy. Once offered it could not be changed, whether for better... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:9-13

Leviticus 27:9-1 Chronicles : . Commutation for an Animal.— An animal once vowed is treated as holy; any attempt to substitute another less valuable renders the second holy (and forfeit) also. An “ unclean” animal cannot be directly offered for sacrifice; it must, therefore, be sold and the price paid to the Temple; if the owner wishes to have it back he must pay an extra 20 per cent. ( cf. Leviticus 27:15; Leviticus 6:5; Leviticus 22:14). read more
