Nidah 48

1) [line 6] ERCHIN
Erech (= endowment valuation) refers to a special form of vow. If a person declares, "Erech Ploni Alay" ("I accept upon myself to give the endowment value of so and so to Hekdesh"), he must give the specific value that the Torah designates for the person's gender and age group as stated in Vayikra 27. It makes no difference at all whether the person is healthy or sick, strong or weak.

THE *ERECH* THAT THE TORAH SPECIFIES IN VAYIKRA 27
AGE MALE FEMALE
1 Mo.-5 Yrs. 5 Shekels 3 Shekels
5-20 Yrs. 20 Shekels 10 Shekels
20-60 Yrs. 50 Shekels 30 Shekels
OVER 60 Yrs 15 Shekels 10 Shekels
