Tao Bible - Leviticus 27:3

And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
~ King James version ~

Tao places no valuation on any of the ten thousand things.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
In this verse and the subsequent ones, God decrees the tax each must pay to the high priest.

Valuation is another human construct. As Tao is all things, how can one being/non-being or substance/non-substance be valued more or less than anything else?

Valuation comes from distinction or separation. As Tao makes no distinctions, value is an illusion.
