Leviticus 27:5-6
Verse 5. From five years old] The boy that was vowed might be redeemed for twenty shekels, 3�. sterling; the girl, for ten shekels, just one half, 1�. 10s. Verse 6. A month old] The male child, five shekels, 15s., the female, three shekels, 9s. Being both in comparative infancy, they were nearly of an equal value. None were vowed under a month old: the first-born being always considered as the Lord's property, could not be vowed, see Le 27:26.
