How much are you worth to God?

Not much, I'm afraid.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying ...
thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old ... fifty shekels of silver....
And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. Leviticus 27:1-7

Here's a table to make it a little easier to see.

The Value of Human Life (in shekels of silver)

Age	Sex	Value (in Shekels of Silver)
less than one month (Newborn babies and fetuses)	male	0
	female	0
one month to 5 years	male	5
	female	3
5 to 20 years	male	20
	female	10
20 to 60 years	male	50
	female	30
over 60 years	male	15
	female	10

And here's a graph, showing the same information.

So now you know how much you're worth in shekels of silver. But what would that be in U.S. dollars?

Well a shekel is about 11.95 grams and a kilogram of silver sells today for about $525. So here's the true value of every human life in dollars and cents.

The Value of Human Life (in U.S. dollars)

Age	Sex	Value (in U.S. dollars)
less than one month (Newborn babies and fetuses)	male	0
	female	0
one month to 5 years	male	31.37
	female	18.82
5 to 20 years	male	125.48
	female	62.74
20 to 60 years	male	313.69
	female	188.21
over 60 years	male	94.11
	female	62.74

From the graph, a few things are obvious.

1. People aren't worth very much to God.
   
2. Males are worth more than females.
   (A female is worth one-half to two-thirds a male depending on age.)
   
3. Newborn babies (less than 1 month old) and fetuses are worth nothing at all.
