11) [line 39] HA'MA'ARICH
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
27:1-8 (see Chart below). It makes no difference at all whether the person is
healthy or sick, strong or weak.
