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 be a animal, whereof men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh 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 animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.

11 If it be any unclean animal, of which they do not offer an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest;

12 and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as you the priest value it, so shall it be.

13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to your estimation.
