The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying,“ Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath.

The priest shall assign a value according to his ability to pay.“‘ If it is an animal of which men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy.He shall not alter it, nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. If he shall at all exchange animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy.If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest;and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall be.But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.“‘ When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Yahweh, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall stand.If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.“‘ If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.“‘ If he dedicates a field to Yahweh which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh.In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.“‘ However the firstborn among animals, which belongs to Yahweh as a firstborn, no man may dedicate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is Yahweh’s.If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.“‘ Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man devotes to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. Everything that is permanently devoted is most holy to Yahweh.“‘ No one devoted to destruction, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death.“‘ All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh’s. It is holy to Yahweh.If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh.He shall not examine whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it. If he exchanges it at all, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.

Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.Don’t allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don’t protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
