It behooves all of us to take our shoes off and listen to Him speak for we are on holy ground beloved (Exodus 3:5). Grieve - This final chapter of the book of Leviticus seems almost to be an appendix. It brings together regulations regarding the redemption of vows and tithes. (What the Bible teaches – Leviticus and Deuteronomy.) John Hartley outlines this chapter: I. Introductory formula (Lev 27:1) II. Speech (Lev 27:2–33) A. Commission to speak (Lev 27:2aα) B. Speech proper (Lev 27:2aβ–33) 1. Concerning vows (Lev 27:2aβ–13) a. Of person (Lev 27:2aβ–8) b. Of animals (Lev 27:9–13) 2. Concerning dedications to the sanctuary (Lev 27:14–25) a. Of a house (Lev 27:14–15) b. Of a field (Lev 27:16–24) 1) Inherited land (Lev 27:16–21) 2) Purchased land (Lev 27:22–24) c. Statement on value of a shekel (Lev 27:25) 3. Restrictions on objects that may be vowed (Lev 27:26–33) a. Concerning first-born (Lev 27:26–27) b. Concerning things devoted (Lev 27:28–29) 1) With regard to animals (Lev 27:28) 2) With regard to humans (Lev 27:29) c. Concerning tithes (Lev 27:30–33) 1) Of crops (Lev 27:0–31) 2) Of animals (Lev 27:32–33) III. Summary formula (Lev 27:34) Chuck Smith - Now if you make a vow unto God and say, "God, I"m gonna give You my life," wonderful. "Now I want to take my life back. Lord, I"ve decided not to give You my life." Well hey, He won"t play Indian giver with you. You want to take yourself back now? You don"t want to give your life to God? Okay, drop fifty shekels of silver into the pot. You had to buy yourself back from the Lord. You made a vow; you made a commitment. "God, I"m giving my life to You, now I"m gonna take my life back." Okay, you can buy your life back from God for fifty shekels, or six? What is it? Fifty, sixty shekels of silver. Fifty shekels of silver. That"s if you"re a man. If you"re a girl, you get better off; you only get valued at thirty shekels of silver. Now the main idea is be careful what you promise God. You know the Bible says, "When you come into the presence of God don"t be swift to speak. You know, really weigh your words. The Psalmist prayed, "Lord don"t let me sin with my lips." I think of how many times we actually sin with our lips when we"re making promises and vows to God. Now the Bible says, "It"s better not to make a vow at all"( Ecclesiastes 5:5 ). God doesn"t require you to make vows. So it"s better that you don"t make any vow at all, then to make a vow to God and break it, because God takes you serious. Now what if we tried to treat each other in our transactions like we treat God? "Oh friend, I"d like to give you my car. Here let me sign over the pink slip." "Oh praise the Lord that"s wonderful. I need a car." Then I come back the next day and say, "I"ve decided I don"t want to give you the car; I want it back." "Oh man, I"ve already put new tires on it." "Well, I want it back, my car you know." We do that with God so often. "God I want to give You this. Lord, I want it back." The Lord takes it serious. He doesn"t play those kinds of games with you. "All right if you want it back, put in the kitty what it"s worth." That"s what the whole chapter is about. Anything that you vowed to God, anything that you promised to God, if you wanted to take it back, then God charged you. You"d have to come and give the estimate for it, and you"d have to pay the estimated value of that thing. You just don"t get it back from God. He doesn"t just give back to you. You have to buy back what you"ve given to God if you want it for yourself. So it starts out with people promising their lives. "Oh God, my life is Yours. I give my life to You." "Fine, I"ll take it." "Oh God, I want my life back." "All right fifty shekels." "Oh God, I give You my lamb Lord; it"s Your little lamb." "Fine, I"ll take it." "Oh Lord, it"s growing up to look so nice, and all, I could probably-" "Okay, buy it back from Me." See but then if you bought the lamb back, not only did you have to pay the estimated price, but you had to add twenty percent. God wanted interest on His money. It"s not so easy. The bank hasn"t really gotten quite as heavy as God, as far as interest rates. God always said, "Add a fifth part thereto." So here in the twenty-seventh chapter are the things that have been dedicated to God. God accepted them. They belonged to God. God considered ownership of them. Now, if you"re trying to renege, take it back, God will allow you to do it, but you"d have to pay for it. Then in a matter of things, you had to add a twenty percent surtax on it unto the Lord. The various ages by which things were valued, and the thing is you couldn"t make any switcheroos on God. You couldn"t give Him a lamb and it grows up to be real nice, and then you had one that was sort of sick, you switch it, you know, and do a switcheroo on God and give Him this poor one. He wouldn"t go for that either. So you try to switcheroo, they both belong to God. It"s so no switcheroos on Him. He wouldn"t go for that kind of a bit. You try that kind of stuff you get in trouble, because then He"ll take them both. Ray
