Leviticus 27:4
And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
And if it be a female,.... That is, of the same age, full twenty years of age, and not more than sixty:
then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels; about three pounds ten shillings of our money, the price of a servant, Exodus 21:32; the reason of this difference of estimation between a man and a woman is, because the woman is the weaker vessel, and her labour and service of less importance and worth, such as spinning, washing, &c.
