二十岁以外的人，是能打仗的战士
二十岁到六十岁的时期，所估的价，比任何时期都更多，并且神在这一段圣经里，特别先说到这一等人。到底是为甚么缘故呢？因为二十岁以外的人，是能打仗的战士。（民一3。）在民数记第一章里，记载数点十二支派时，每一次都是注重二十岁以外能出去打仗的有多少。神现在对于祂儿女的估价，也是如此。凡肯奉献的，在祂面前都是有价值的，无论多软弱，总不会有一文不值的事。但是，那些肯为神的荣耀站起来的人，肯与神同心除灭罪恶的人，肯为神的权利与撒但争战的人，是比不肯这样的信徒更有价值的。神的眼睛，是注重在战士的身上。
男女的估价为甚么有不同呢？这不是按肉体说，（以色列人是按肉体，）乃是指灵性的刚强或软弱而言。（彼前三7。）也许信主只有一年的，比信主已经五年的还进步呢。
我们知道基督徒有属灵年岁的分别，有退落的可能，也有追上的可能。我们每一个，到底是在那一种情形之下呢？
到大祭司面前重新估价
“他若贫穷不能照你所估定的价，就要把他带到祭司面前，祭司要按许愿人的力量估定他的价。”（利二七8。）这是甚么意思呢？因为按我们的属灵年岁，本来当出多少，但是，一经圣灵的光照，就知并没有甚么可出的，应出的竟然出不起！这时候，就只好再到我们的大祭司面前，承认我们的出不起，求祂另估价值。我们只好再起头而已。
我们在神手里值得多少呢？
平银，是按圣所的平平的。这是神说你值多少，就值多少，是再准不过的。人的平出入不准的很多，但是，圣所的平是极其准的。神所估的，是不差毫厘的。
我们的半舍客勒是已经付了。今天我们都当问神说，“神阿！我在你的手里值得多少呢？”

The Valuation of the Repayment of Vows in Leviticus (3) – Lev. 27:8
Over Twenty Years Old Go Forth for Military Service
The period from twenty to sixty years old is valued more than any other period, and God specifically speaks of this group of people first in this passage of the Bible. What is the reason for this? Because men over the age of twenty are able to go forth for military service. (Num. 1:3). In the first chapter of Numbers, it is recorded that the twelve tribes were numbered, each time the focus was on how many of those over twenty years old were able to go out to fight. It is also true with God’s current valuation of his children. Those who are willing to consecrate are valuable before him regardless of their weakness, there is nothing worthless. Those who are willing to stand up for the glory of God, willing to work with God to eliminate sins, and willing to fight against Satan for God’s rights are more valuable than believers who are unwilling to do so. God’s eyes focus on warriors.
Why are men and women’s valuations different? This is not concerning the flesh (yet Israel is concerning this), but is concerning spiritual strength or weakness (1 Pet. 3:7), perhaps one who is saved for only one year is more advanced than the one who has saved for five years. We know that Christians have different spiritual ages, and there is a possibility of backsliding or catching up. What kind of situation do we fall into?
Set Before the High Priest for a Re-valuation
“But if it is for him who is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.” (Lev. 27:8) What does that mean in this verse? Because according to our spiritual age, we should have offered more, but once we are enlightened by the Holy Spirit, we realize that there is nothing to offer, and we could not even offer what we should have given! At this time, we have no choice but come before our High Priest, confess our affordability and ask him for re-value so that we may start from the beginning.
How Much Are We Worth in God’s Hands?
The offering is according to the shekel of the sanctuary. This is what God says about your value, and it cannot be more accurate. There are many inaccuracies in a man’s shekel, but the shekel of sanctuary is extremely accurate. What God estimates is accurate and without the slightest of error. Our half shekel has been paid. Today we should all ask God, “O God! How much am I worth in your hands?”
