Leviticus 27:9 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 27:9

And if [it be] a beast whereof men bring an offering to the
Lord
That is, it such a creature is devoted, which is of that kind which are used in sacrifice to the Lord, such as bullocks, sheep, goats, rams, and lambs:

all that [any man] giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy;
shall be set apart to sacred uses, and not applied to profane or common uses, but either were for the use of the altar or of the priests; or the price of them for the repair of the sanctuary, according as they were devoted.

Leviticus 27:9 In-Context

7 If the person is 60 years or more, your valuation is 15 shekels for a male and 10 shekels for a female.

8 But if one is too poor to pay the valuation, he must present the person before the priest and the priest will set a value for him. The priest will set a value for him according to what the one making the vow can afford.

9 "If the vow involves one of the animals that may be brought as an offering to the Lord, any of these he gives to the Lord will be holy.

10 He may not replace it or make a substitution for it, either good for bad, or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy.

11 "If the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the Lord, the animal must be presented before the priest.
