Leviticus 27:1-15

This chapter is concerned with the vows that the children of Israel could make and with the manner in which the priest should assess them. In Exodus 30 our attention was drawn to the fact that the redemption price was identical for everyone. Here, on the contrary, assessments vary from one to another. Indeed it is no longer a question of that which represents our salvation, but rather of the capacity which each one possesses. Redeemed by the same price, the precious blood of Jesus, all the children of God are far from being on the same spiritual level, or of having the same aptitude for service. And the priest must intervene to appreciate every man’s work: "as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be" (v. 12). We who so easily criticise what other believers do or don’t do, let us remember that the One who judges is the Lord (1 Corinthians 4:4-5).

People, animals or houses, all could be consecrated to the LORD. Indeed, we have nothing more precious to offer to the Lord than our own selves. This is what was done by the Macedonians of whom the apostle speaks: "And this they did . . . (they) first gave their own selves to the Lord", and all their service, spontaneous, abounding in joy, arose from this initial gift (2 Corinthians 8:2-5).
