Leviticus 27:3

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

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

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.

5 And if the person is from five to twenty years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten 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.
