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 age of the person is 60 years or more, the value is fifteen shekels if the person is male, ten shekels for a female.
8 But if financial difficulty prevents the promise maker from giving the full value, they must set the person before the priest. The priest will assign the person a value according to what the promise maker can afford.
9 If a solemn promise involves livestock that can be offered to the LORD, any such animal given to the LORD will be considered holy.
10 The promise maker cannot replace or substitute for it, either good for bad or bad for good. But if one should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute will be holy.
11 If the solemn promise involves any kind of unclean animal that cannot be offered to the LORD, the promise maker must set the animal before the priest.
