So that eflimation here meaneth the money ofeffimation as is expreffed in verfe r 5.and as the Greeke verfion here explaineth it , a vow fir the price (or value) of his Janie to the Lord. So larchiex- poundeth it , to give the eflimation (or value) of his fade : And Abets Ezra more plainely' thus ; to fay, If God doe fo unte me, I will redonne my foule, according to my value , or the value of my fanne, or the value of my beafl. And of this the fcripture fpeaketh in z King.; 24. where Iehoafh giving order to the Priefts about the receiving & difpofngof thehollowed things, mentionethe- very mans titony f the foules of his eflimation. And here the Lawbeing given to all Ifrael, the fpeech feenieth to be direfted to every man, tleyeflimation: or,as Comte thinke, to the Prieft.But that which is fpoken to the'Prieft in verfe I2. was about fuch things as God had let no value of, as he had done of all foules or-perfons, which the Prieft might not alter.The Greekand Chaldee omit thisword thy,as redundant,though it be continued through out the chapter: and may diftingguifhthe Ifrae- lites, from other peoples, whore vowesof this kinde were of no force ;as theHebrew canons alto Phew thus.An heathen may be animated (or valued, to weet, by an Ifraelite,), but he bimfelfeeflitnatetb not, As, if'an heathen fay, myofimation (or value) be up- en me; or, the eflimatien of this Ifraelite be upon me, (that is,I vow to give the value of this Ifraelite,) he faith-notbing.But if an Ifraelite fay, The eftima- tion ,of this heathen be upon me,or the eflinyation of fuch an heathen be upon me;he is to give accor- ding to the yeers ofthe heathen that is eftimated.
