Leviticus 27:11 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 27:11

And if [it be] any unclean beast, of which they do not offer
a sacrifice unto the Lord
Any creature, excepting a dog, the price of which was not to be brought into the house of the Lord; besides oxen, sheep, goats, rams, and lambs; though some understand it even of such that have blemishes on them, and so not fit to be offered unto the Lord; so Jarchi and others ^F24:

then he shall present the beast before the priest;
to be viewed, examined, and judged of as to its worth, and a value put upon it, that it might be sold or redeemed, as no other but a beast might; so it is observed birds, wood, frankincense, and ministering vessels, have no redemption, for it is only said a beast ^F25.

Leviticus 27:11 In-Context

9 "`And if it be a beast whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.

10 He shall not alter it nor change it, a good for a bad or a bad for a good; and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

11 And if it be any unclean beast, which they do not offer as a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest.

12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as thou, who art the priest, valuest it, so shall it be.

13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy valuation.
