The priests under the Law had various rôles. Here we see them as estimators of value as given to persons, animals, and objects. The rôle of priests, in the Kingdom, will be to assist Jesus in governing. They will also have to make judgements and estimations according to divine rule. The priests in the Kingdom, of course, will be men and women from the generations of history who have entered a covenant relationship with the Lord, and have been accepted to rule with Him (Rev 5:9,10).

REGULATIONS CONVERNING VOWS AND OFFERINGS (27:1-34)
The final chapter of Leviticus deals in detail with vows and tithes, which had been mentioned only in a rather general manner elsewhere (Lev 7:16; Lev 22:18-23; Lev 23:38). A vow to God placed a person or property in a special consecrated relationship which stood outside the formal demands of the law. The daughter of Jephthah (Judg 11:30-31) and Samuel, the son of Hannah (1Sam 1:11), are instances of persons who were made votive offerings by others. Leviticus began with regulations concerning sanctuary offerings, and it is appropriate that it should conclude on the same theme.

Persons (27:1-8)
1-5. This section deals with the valuation of a male person who is offered under a vow to Yahweh. The standard of valuation is that of the sanctuary shekel (Lev 5:15), and a male in his majority was considered to be worth fifty shekels of silver (3). This money would be paid to the priests, and in later periods was used for the general maintenance of the sanctuary. Females who were vowed to divine service were appraised at thirty shekels, probably because they were physically less strong than healthy males and/or because they were available for less of the time (they were considered unholy for a period of time on a monthly basis, as is the manner of women). A similar scale applied to persons of both sexes whose age ranged from five to twenty years. The women would doubtless assist the priests in non-ceremonial duties connected with the sanctuary, and in addition would care for the more junior votaries.
6-8. The young male child dedicated in this manner to Yahweh's service was valued at five shekels and his female counterpart at three shekels. Such children would be taught how to assist the priests in various duties as long as the period of their vows lasted. Persons above the age of sixty were valued at fifteen shekels for a male and ten for a female. If the individual making the vow, whether for himself or for someone else, was too poor to pay anything, then the person being vowed was valued by the officiating priest at a lower and more realistic level in the expectation that the person involved would keep his or her vow. In Old Testament times vows were regarded as extremely serious acts (cp. Deut 23:21-23), and the precautions listed here were meant to dissuade overenthusiastic and unrealistic vows. Since the Torah did not contain legislation which prescribed vows, it was expected that someone who entered into that kind of voluntary relationship with God would complete whatever had been undertaken. Only those vows that conformed to the covenantal ethos would be acceptable to God. A wife's vow was invalid unless it was approved by her husband.
The lesson for us today is that we take very great care over our promises, and that we fulfil the obligation to carry through those promises, even if we lose out as a consequence of changed circumstances.

Did people have to be put to death?
"Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.
None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death."
This passage is hard to understand and appears to imply that devoted animals or people should be put to death. This is incorrect. It simply means that if a specific thing is devoted, God will not accept an exchange for it. So if you devote a sheep, that specific sheep is devoted, not another in exchange for it. The second part of the passage says that even the death of the animal or person is preferable to them being swapped. So essentially the point of the passage is that if you devote a living thing to God, it remains devoted to God for all of its life and cannot be exchanged or redeemed. The only thing that ends this is the finality of death.

TEN PERCENT
Our devotion to the Lord needs to show in every area of our lives. It may be that we read the Bible and pray, but that also needs to show in the way we live, in our time given to the Lord, in our generosity and in our energy.
God’s requirement for Israel was this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it. Every tithe of the herd and flock – every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod – will be holy to the Lord.”
What would it look like for us to devote a tithe of everything to the Lord? Would it make a big difference to our finances if we gave a tithe? What would it do to our free time if we gave ten percent of our time to God? How much would our prayer lives change? How much more time would we have to read the Bible? How much more time would we have to spend caring for the needs of others?
Let us give God what he wants and make sure that it is the best that we can give.

27. And if it be of an unclean <2931> beast <929>, then he shall redeem <6299>(8804) it according to thine estimation <6187>, and shall add <3254>(8804) a fifth <2549> part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed <1350>(8735), then it shall be sold <4376>(8738) according to thy estimation <6187>.
28. Notwithstanding no devoted thing <2764>, that a man <376> shall devote <2763>(8686) unto the LORD <3068> of all that he hath, both of man <120> and beast <929>, and of the field <7704> of his possession <272>, shall be sold <4376>(8735) or redeemed <1350>(8735): every devoted thing <2764> is most <6944> holy <6944> unto the LORD <3068>.
29. None devoted <2764>, which shall be <3808> devoted <2763>(8714) of men <120>, shall be redeemed <6299>(8735); but shall surely <4191>(8800) be put to death <4191>(8714).
30. And all the tithe <4643> of the land <776>, whether of the seed <2233> of the land <776>, or of the fruit <6529> of the tree <6086>, is the LORD'S <3068>: it is holy <6944> unto the LORD <3068>.
31. And if a man <376> will at all <1350>(8800) redeem <1350>(8799) ought of his tithes <4643>, he shall add <3254>(8686) thereto the fifth <2549> part thereof.
32. And concerning the tithe <4643> of the herd <1241>, or of the flock <6629>, even of whatsoever passeth <5674>(8799) under the rod <7626>, the tenth <6224> shall be holy <6944> unto the LORD <3068>.
33. He shall not search <1239>(8762) whether it be good <2896> or bad <7451>, neither shall he change <4171>(8686) it: and if he change <4171>(8686) it at all <4171>(8687), then both it and the change <8545> thereof shall be holy <6944>; it shall not be redeemed <1350>(8735).
34. These are the commandments <4687>, which the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872> for the children <1121> of Israel <3478> in mount <2022> Sinai <5514>.

Psalm 142
In both of the previous two Psalms we have the same context as this one. All three speak of snares and traps being laid secretly for David, so it appears that the three Psalms are linked. The heading of this Psalm tells us that this was written while David was in the Cave, so we could assume that all three Psalms are about the time when David fled from Saul and took refuge in the cave of Adullam (1Sam 22).

7. Bring <3318>(8685) my soul <5315> out of prison <4525>, that I may praise <3034>(8687) thy name <8034>: the righteous <6662> shall compass me about <3803>(8686); for thou shalt deal bountifully <1580>(8799) with me.
Notes that are not verse specific
WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR?
Jesus answered the question, "Who is my neighbour?" by telling the parable of the good Samaritan. He needed to illustrate the way we love our neighbours as ourselves. The Samaritan was an enemy of the Jews, so the parable would have made the expert of the law who asked the question break out into a sweat as he heard the good nature of his enemy. And even at the end of the parable he still couldn't bring himself to name the Samaritan. When Jesus asked which of the people he had described was a neighbour to the wounded man, "The expert in the law replied, 'The one who had mercy on him!'" The hateful feelings ran very deep - even though the Samaritan was his neighbour and needed to see the compassion of the one who had asked the question.
Our attitude toward our neighbours needs to run deeper than just our feelings. As Christians we need to do more than just the norm for the people around us. Jesus asked us to do more - not just to love the people who love us or to be kind to the people who are kind to us, but like the good Samaritan, to go the extra mile even for the people you hate.
"Go and do likewise."

11:17 Often we read of Jesus knowing the thoughts of people who were around him. This was due to his understanding of human nature. He could read a situation and understand how human being s would react to that situation. He knew this because he had learnt about himself. We should, likewise, try to understand ourselves better so that we will be able to understand other people.

1. <1161> After <3326> these things <5023> the Lord <2962> appointed <322>(5656) other <2087> seventy <1440> also <2532>, and <2532> sent <649>(5656) them <846> two <303> and two <1417> before <4253> his <848> face <4383> into <1519> every <3956> city <4172> and <2532> place <5117>, whither <3757> he himself <846> would <3195>(5707) come <2064>(5738).
2. Therefore <3767> said he <3004>(5707) unto <4314> them <846>, The harvest <2326> truly <3303> is great <4183>, but <1161> the labourers <2040> are few <3641>: pray ye <1189>(5676) therefore <3767> the Lord <2962> of the harvest <2326>, that <3704> he would send forth <1544>(5725) labourers <2040> into <1519> his <848> harvest <2326>.
3. Go your ways <5217>(5720): behold <2400>(5628), I <1473> send <649> <0> you <5209> forth <649>(5719) as <5613> lambs <704> among <1722> <3319> wolves <3074>.
4. Carry <941>(5720) neither <3361> purse <905>, nor <3361> scrip <4082>, nor <3366> shoes <5266>: and <2532> salute <782>(5667) no man <3367> by <2596> the way <3598>.
5. And <1161> into <1519> whatsoever <3739> <302> house <3614> ye enter <1525>(5741), first <4412> say <3004>(5720), Peace <1515> be to this <5129> house <3624>.
6. And <2532> if <1437> <3303> the son <5207> of peace <1515> be <5600>(5753) there <1563>, your <5216> peace <1515> shall rest <1879>(5695) upon <1909> it <846>: if not <1490>, it shall turn <344> <0> to <1909> you <5209> again <344>(5692).
7. And <1161> in <1722> the same <846> house <3614> remain <3306>(5720), eating <2068>(5723) and <2532> drinking <4095>(5723) such things as <3844> <0> they <846> give <3844>: for <1063> the labourer <2040> is <2076>(5748) worthy <514> of his <848> hire <3408>. Go <3327>(5720) not <3361> from <1537> house <3614> to <1519> house <3614>.
8. And <2532> into <1519> whatsoever <1161> <3739> <302> city <4172> ye enter <1525>(5741), and <2532> they receive <1209>(5741) you <5209>, eat such things <2068>(5720) as are set before <3908>(5746) you <5213>:
9. And <2532> heal <2323>(5720) the sick <772> that are therein <1722> <846>, and <2532> say <3004>(5720) unto them <846>, The kingdom <932> of God <2316> is come nigh <1448>(5758) unto <1909> you <5209>.
10. But <1161> into <1519> whatsoever <3739> <302> city <4172> ye enter <1525>(5741), and <2532> they receive <1209>(5741) you <5209> not <3361>, go your ways out <1831>(5631) into <1519> the streets <4113> of the same <846>, and say <2036>(5628),
11. Even <2532> the very dust <2868> of <1537> your <5216> city <4172>, which <3588> cleaveth <2853>(5685) on us <2254>, we do wipe off <631>(5731) against you <5213>: notwithstanding <4133> be ye sure <1097>(5720) of this <5124>, that <3754> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> is come nigh <1448>(5758) unto <1909> you <5209>.
12. But <1161> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, that <3754> it shall be <2071>(5704) more tolerable <414> in <1722> that <1565> day <2250> for Sodom <4670>, than <2228> for that <1565> city <4172>.
13. Woe <3759> unto thee <4671>, Chorazin <5523>! woe <3759> unto thee <4671>, Bethsaida <966>! for <3754> if <1487> the mighty works <1411> had been done <1096>(5633) in <1722> Tyre <5184> and <2532> Sidon <4605>, which <3588> have been done <1096>(5637) in <1722> you <5213>, they had <3340> <0> a great while ago <3819> repented <3340>(5656), sitting <2521>(5740) in <302> <1722> sackcloth <4526> and <2532> ashes <4700>.
14. But <4133> it shall be <2071>(5704) more tolerable <414> for Tyre <5184> and <2532> Sidon <4605> at <1722> the judgment <2920>, than <2228> for you <5213>.
15. And <2532> thou <4771>, Capernaum <2584>, which <3588> art exalted <5312>(5685) to <2193> heaven <3772>, shalt be thrust down <2601>(5701) to <2193> hell <86>.
16. He that heareth <191>(5723) you <5216> heareth <191>(5719) me <1700>; and <2532> he that despiseth <114>(5723) you <5209> despiseth <114>(5719) me <1691>; and <1161> he that despiseth <114>(5723) me <1691> despiseth <114>(5719) him that sent <649>(5660) me <3165>.
17. And <1161> the seventy <1440> returned again <5290>(5656) with <3326> joy <5479>, saying <3004>(5723), Lord <2962>, even <2532> the devils <1140> are subject <5293>(5743) unto us <2254> through <1722> thy <4675> name <3686>.
18. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, I beheld <2334>(5707) Satan <4567> as <5613> lightning <796> fall <4098>(5631) from <1537> heaven <3772>.
19. Behold <2400>(5628), I give <1325>(5719) unto you <5213> power <1849> to tread <3961>(5721) on <1883> serpents <3789> and <2532> scorpions <4651>, and <2532> over <1909> all <3956> the power <1411> of the enemy <2190>: and <2532> nothing <3762> shall <91> <0> by any means <3364> hurt <91>(5661)(5625) <91>(5692) you <5209>.
20. Notwithstanding <4133> in <1722> this <5129> rejoice <5463>(5720) not <3361>, that <3754> the spirits <4151> are subject <5293>(5743) unto you <5213>; but <1161> rather <3123> rejoice <5463>(5720), because <3754> your <5216> names <3686> are written <1125>(5648) in <1722> heaven <3772>.
21. In <1722> that <846> hour <5610> Jesus <2424> rejoiced in <21>(5662) spirit <4151>, and <2532> said <2036>(5627), I thank <1843>(5731) thee <4671>, O Father <3962>, Lord <2962> of heaven <3772> and <2532> earth <1093>, that <3754> thou hast hid <613>(5656) these things <5023> from <575> the wise <4680> and <2532> prudent <4908>, and <2532> hast revealed <601>(5656) them <846> unto babes <3516>: even so <3483>, Father <3962>; for <3754> so <3779> it seemed <1096>(5633) good <2107> in <1715> <0> thy <4675> sight <1715>.
22. All things <3956> are delivered <3860>(5681) to me <3427> of <5259> my <3450> Father <3962>: and <2532> no man <3762> knoweth <1097>(5719) who <5101> the Son <5207> is <2076>(5748), but <1508> the Father <3962>; and <2532> who <5101> the Father <3962> is <2076>(5748), but <1508> the Son <5207>, and <2532> he to whom <3739> <1437> the Son <5207> will <1014>(5741) reveal <601>(5658) him.
23. And <2532> he turned him <4762>(5651) unto <4314> his disciples <3101>, and said <2036>(5627) privately <2398> <2596>, Blessed <3107> are the eyes <3788> which <3588> see <991>(5723) the things that <3739> ye <5210> see <991>(5719):
24. For <1063> I tell <3004>(5719) you <5213>, that <3754> many <4183> prophets <4396> and <2532> kings <935> have desired <2309>(5656) to see <1492>(5629) those things which <3739> ye <5210> see <991>(5719), and <2532> have <1492> <0> not <3756> seen <1492>(5627) them; and <2532> to hear <191>(5658) those things which <3739> ye hear <191>(5719), and <2532> have <191> <0> not <3756> heard <191>(5656) them.
25. And <2532>, behold <2400>(5628), a certain <5100> lawyer <3544> stood up <450>(5627), and <2532> tempted <1598>(5723) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Master <1320>, what <5101> shall I do <4160>(5660) to inherit <2816>(5692)(5661) eternal <166> life <2222>?
26. <1161> He said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> him <846>, What <5101> is written <1125>(5769) in <1722> the law <3551>? how <4459> readest thou <314>(5719)?
27. And <1161> he answering <611>(5679) said <2036>(5627), Thou shalt love <25>(5692) the Lord <2962> thy <4675> God <2316> with <1537> all <3650> thy <4675> heart <2588>, and <2532> with <1537> all <3650> thy <4675> soul <5590>, and <2532> with <1537> all <3650> thy <4675> strength <2479>, and <2532> with <1537> all <3650> thy <4675> mind <1271>; and <2532> thy <4675> neighbour <4139> as <5613> thyself <4572>.
28. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Thou hast answered <611>(5662) right <3723>: this <5124> do <4160>(5720), and <2532> thou shalt live <2198>(5692).
29. But <1161> he, willing <2309>(5723) to justify <1344>(5721) himself <1438>, said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> Jesus <2424>, And <2532> who <5101> is <2076>(5748) my <3450> neighbour <4139>?
30. And <1161> Jesus <2424> answering <5274>(5631) said <2036>(5627), A certain <5100> man <444> went down <2597>(5707) from <575> Jerusalem <2419> to <1519> Jericho <2410>, and <2532> fell among <4045>(5627) thieves <3027>, which <3739> <2532> stripped <1562> <0> him <846> of his raiment <1562>(5660), and <2532> wounded <4127> <2007>(5631) him, and departed <565>(5627), leaving <863>(5631) him half dead <2253> <5177>(5723).
31. And <1161> by <2596> chance <4795> there came down <2597>(5707) a certain <5100> priest <2409> that <1722> <1565> way <3598>: and <2532> when he saw <1492>(5631) him <846>, he passed by on the other side <492>(5627).
32. And <1161> likewise <3668> <2532> a Levite <3019>, when he was <1096>(5637) at <2596> the place <5117>, came <2064>(5631) and <2532> looked <1492>(5631) on him, and passed by on the other side <492>(5627).
33. But <1161> a certain <5100> Samaritan <4541>, as he journeyed <3593>(5723), came <2064>(5627) where <2596> he was <846>: and <2532> when he saw <1492>(5631) him <846>, he had compassion <4697>(5675) on him,
34. And <2532> went <4334>(5631) to him, and bound up <2611>(5656) his <846> wounds <5134>, pouring in <2022>(5723) oil <1637> and <2532> wine <3631>, and <1161> set <1913>(5660) him <846> on <1909> his own <2398> beast <2934>, and brought <71>(5627) him <846> to <1519> an inn <3829>, and <2532> took care <1959>(5675) of him <846>.
35. And <2532> on <1909> the morrow <839> when he departed <1831>(5631), he took out <1544>(5631) two <1417> pence <1220>, and gave <1325>(5656) them to the host <3830>, and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Take care <1959>(5682) of him <846>; and <2532> whatsoever <3748> <302> thou spendest more <4325>(5661), when I <3165> come again <1722> <1880>(5738), I <1473> will repay <591>(5692) thee <4671>.
36. Which <5101> now <3767> of these <5130> three <5140>, thinkest <1380>(5719) thou <4671>, was <1096>(5755) neighbour <4139> unto him that fell <1706>(5631) among <1519> the thieves <3027>?
37. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627), He that shewed <4160>(5660) mercy <1656> on <3326> him <846>. Then <3767> said <2036>(5627) Jesus <2424> unto him <846>, Go <4198>(5737), and <2532> do <4160>(5720) thou <4771> likewise <3668>.
38. Now <1161> it came to pass <1096>(5633), as <1722> they <846> went <4198>(5738), that <2532> he <846> entered <1525>(5627) into <1519> a certain <5100> village <2968>: and <1161> a certain <5100> woman <1135> named <3686> Martha <3136> received <5264>(5662) him <846> into <1519> her <848> house <3624>.
39. And <2532> she <3592> had <2258>(5713) a sister <79> called <2564>(5746) Mary <3137>, which <3739> also <2532> sat <3869>(5660) at <3844> Jesus <2424>' feet <4228>, and heard <191>(5707) his <846> word <3056>.
40. But <1161> Martha <3136> was cumbered <4049>(5712) about <4012> much <4183> serving <1248>, and <1161> came to him <2186>(5631), and said <2036>(5627), Lord <2962>, dost <3199> <0> thou <4671> not <3756> care <3199>(5719) that <3754> my <3450> sister <79> hath left <2641>(5627) me <3165> to serve <1247>(5721) alone <3441>? bid <2036>(5628) her <846> therefore <3767> that <2443> she help <4878>(5638) me <3427>.
41. And <1161> Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5679) and said <2036>(5627) unto her <846>, Martha <3136>, Martha <3136>, thou art careful <3309>(5719) and <2532> troubled <5182>(5743) about <4012> many things <4183>:
42. But <1161> one thing <1520> is <2076>(5748) needful <5532>: and <1161> Mary <3137> hath chosen <1586>(5668) that good <18> part <3310>, which <3748> shall <851> <0> not <3756> be taken away <851>(5701) from <575> her <846>.
