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 If it concerns an animal that may be brought as an offering to the Lord, any such that may be given to the Lord shall be holy.

10 Another shall not be exchanged or substituted for it, either good for bad or bad for good; and if one animal is substituted for another, both that one and its substitute shall be holy.

11 If it concerns any unclean animal that may not be brought as an offering to the Lord, the animal shall be presented before the priest.

12 The priest shall assess it: whether good or bad, according to the assessment of the priest, so it shall be.

13 But if it is to be redeemed, one-fifth must be added to the assessment.
