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 from the cattle that are offered as a gift to the Lord, whoever shall offer one of these to the Lord, it shall be holy.

10 He shall not change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he do at all change it, a beast for a beast, it and the substitute shall be holy.

11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which none are offered as a gift to the Lord, he shall set the beast before the priest.

12 And the priest shall make a valuation between the good and the bad, and accordingly as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

13 And if will at all redeem it, he shall add the fifth part to its value.
