BeChuko-Thai Hebrew Parsha – 6th Aliyah

BeChuko-Thai(בְּחֻקֹּתַי)

Leviticus 26:3 – 27:24

Sixth Aliyah



27:22
If the field that one consecrates to God is not his hereditary property but a field he has bought,
Ve’im et-sdeh miknato asher lo misdeh achuzato yakdish l’Adonay.
וְאִם, אֶת-שְׂדֵה מִקְנָתוֹ, אֲשֶׁר, לֹא מִשְּׂדֵה אֲחֻזָּתוֹ–יַקְדִּישׁ, לַיהוָה.

27:23
the priest shall calculate the proportion of its endowment valuation on the basis of the number of years remaining until the [next] jubilee year. On that day, [anyone] can [redeem it by] giving its endowment valuation as something consecrated to God.
Vechishav-lo hakohen et michsat ha’erkecha ad shnat hayovel venatan et-ha’erkecha bayom hahu kodesh l’Adonay.
וְחִשַּׁב-לוֹ הַכֹּהֵן, אֵת מִכְסַת הָעֶרְכְּךָ, עַד, שְׁנַת הַיֹּבֵל; וְנָתַן אֶת-הָעֶרְכְּךָ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, קֹדֶשׁ לַיהוָה.

27:24
[In any case], on the jubilee year, the field shall revert to the one from whom it was bought, the one who had it as his hereditary property in the land.
Bishnat hayovel yashuv hasadeh la’asher kanahu me’ito la’asher-lo achuzat ha’arets.
בִּשְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל יָשׁוּב הַשָּׂדֶה, לַאֲשֶׁר קָנָהוּ מֵאִתּוֹ–לַאֲשֶׁר-לוֹ, אֲחֻזַּת הָאָרֶץ.

27:25
Every endowment valuation shall be according to the sanctuary standard, where the shekel is 20 gerahs.
Vechol-erkecha yihyeh beshekel hakodesh esrim gerah yihyeh hashakel.
וְכָל-עֶרְכְּךָ–יִהְיֶה, בְּשֶׁקֶל הַקֹּדֶשׁ: עֶשְׂרִים גֵּרָה, יִהְיֶה הַשָּׁקֶל.

27:26
A firstling animal which must be sacrificed as a first-born offering to God may not be consecrated by an individual. Whether it is an ox, sheep, or goat, it [automatically] belongs to God.
Ach-bechor asher yevukar la’Adonay bivhemah lo-yakdish ish oto im-shor im-seh l’Adonay hu.
אַךְ-בְּכוֹר אֲשֶׁר-יְבֻכַּר לַיהוָה, בִּבְהֵמָה–לֹא-יַקְדִּישׁ אִישׁ, אֹתוֹ: אִם-שׁוֹר אִם-שֶׂה, לַיהוָה הוּא.

27:27
If a non-kosher animal [is consecrated], it shall be redeemed for its endowment valuation plus an additional 20%. If it is not redeemed, it shall be sold for its endowment value.
Ve’im babehemah hatme’ah ufadah ve’erkecha veyasaf chamishito alav ve’im-lo yiga’el venimkar be’erkecha.
וְאִם בַּבְּהֵמָה הַטְּמֵאָה וּפָדָה בְעֶרְכֶּךָ, וְיָסַף חֲמִשִׁתוֹ עָלָיו; וְאִם-לֹא יִגָּאֵל, וְנִמְכַּר בְּעֶרְכֶּךָ.

27:28
However, anything taboo, that a person declares to be taboo to God, cannot be sold or redeemed. [This is true] of anything he owns, whether it is a slave, an animal, or his hereditary field. Everything that is taboo is holy of holies to God.
Ach kol-cherem asher yacharim ish l’Adonay mikol-asher-lo me’adam uvehemah umisdeh achuzato lo yimacher velo yiga’el kol-cherem kodesh kodashim hu l’Adonay.
אַךְ-כָּל-חֵרֶם אֲשֶׁר יַחֲרִם אִישׁ לַיהוָה מִכָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ, מֵאָדָם וּבְהֵמָה וּמִשְּׂדֵה אֲחֻזָּתוֹ–לֹא יִמָּכֵר, וְלֹא יִגָּאֵל: כָּל-חֵרֶם, קֹדֶשׁ-קָדָשִׁים הוּא לַיהוָה.
