27:2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a
singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation.
(27:2, 10) "When a man shall make a singular vow.... He shall not alter it,
nor change it." Is it OK to take oaths?
(27:3-7)
God defines the value of human life in dollars and cents. To God, females are
worth considerably less than males (50 - 60%) -- but neither are worth much. And babies (or fetuses) less than one month old are worth nothing at all. What the Bible says about abortion The
worth of a woman: the Bible vs. the Quran
(27:3) "Thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver."

(27:6) "If it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver."
(27:7) "If it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels."
Here's a summary:

years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen
