Leviticus 27:2

Israel

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When someone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the value of persons,

3 if the valuation concerns a male from twenty to sixty years of age, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.

4 Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
