Leviticus 27 · Grade 4

Promises and the Tithe

Name Date

Read and Think

Leviticus ends with a chapter on vows. A grateful worshiper might dedicate a person, an animal, a house, or a field to Yahweh. Values were set for each. Persons were valued by age and sex, likely based on the work they could do, not on their worth to God.

If someone wished to redeem, or buy back, what he had vowed, he paid the value plus one fifth. A vow was not to be made lightly. Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 later says it is better not to vow than to vow and not pay.

The tithe of the land and of the flock was already holy to Yahweh. It could not be vowed again, because it already belonged to Him. Jesus praised generous giving and warned against giving only for show. The book that began with offerings ends with a reminder that all we have belongs to God.
