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 The price for a man sixty years old or older is about six ounces of silver; for a woman it is about four ounces of silver.

8 "'If anyone is too poor to pay the price, bring him to the priest, and the priest will set the price. The priest will decide how much money the person making the vow can afford to pay.

9 "'Some animals may be used as sacrifices to the Lord. If someone promises to bring one of these to the Lord, it will become holy.

10 That person must not try to put another animal in its place or exchange it, a good animal for a bad one, or a bad animal for a good one. If this happens, both animals will be- come holy.

11 "'Unclean animals cannot be offered as sacrifices to the Lord, and if someone brings one of them to the Lord, that animal must be brought to the priest.
