Leviticus 27
I did not know that people could be consecrated to the Lord for specified portions of their lives, I thought it was once consecrated then always consecrated. Not only could consecrations be for specified portions but the value of the consecration varied by the time of life. Men were more valuable than women but the ratio between their values was not constant from one period to another.
To redeem an animal or house consecrated to the Lord, a person was required to pay 120% o the consecrated value of the offering.
