If the animal so presented was ‘unclean,’ and as such could not lawfully be offered to God, the priest was to set upon it a value in proportion to its worth, whereupon the owner might sell it for that sum and pay over the amount. If, however, he desired to have it back, he must pay in addition one-fifth of the price which the priest had adjudged.<\/p>\n Whereof men bring, <\/B>to wit, usually and according to Gods appointment.

But if such an exchange should be made, the animal first dedicated and the one substituted were both to be holy (Lev 27:9<\/span>, Lev 27:10<\/span>). The expression “it shall be holy” unquestionably implies that an animal of this kind could not be redeemed; but if it was free from faults, it was offered in sacrifice: if, however, it was not fit for sacrifice on account of some blemish, it fell to the portion of the priests for their maintenance like the first-born of cattle (cf. Lev 27:33<\/span>).<\/p>\n Verses 9-13:<\/strong><\/p>\n A clean animal vowed to the Lord was not to be exchanged for another on the grounds that it was not good enough to be offered as a sacrifice, or that it was too good to be offered. Any such attempt resulted in both animals being surrendered to be sacrificed. Or, if blemished, they might be added to the priests’ herds.<\/p>\n An unclean animal, one which might not be sacrificed, was to be appraised by the priest. If the owner redeemed it, he was required to add twenty percent of its value to the redemption price.<\/p>\n For a list of clean and unclean animals see Le 11.<\/p>\n B.

The vow may not be changed; the donor may neither change his mind about giving it to the Lord, nor substitute good for bad or bad for good; if he does, both the first and the second shall belong to the Lord! But if the animal given to the Lord is not a kind that is permitted as a sacrifice, the owner shall bring it to the priest to value it, and he shall be told how much to pay instead. If the animal is a kind that may be offered as a sacrifice, but the man wants to redeem it, then he shall pay twenty per cent more than the value set by the priest.<\/p>\n COMMENT 27:913<\/strong><\/p>\n Lev. 27:9-13<\/span> This next section concerns the vowing to the Lord of domestic animals (Lev. 27:9-13<\/span>). If the animal thus dedicated to the Lord were such as could be used in sacrifice, then the animal itself was taken for the sanctuary service, and the vow was unalterable and irrevocable. If, however, the animal vowed was any unclean beast, then the priest (Lev. 27:12<\/span>) was to set a price upon it, according to its value: for which, we may infer, it was to be sold and the proceeds devoted to the sanctuary. In this case, the person who had vowed the animal was allowed to redeem it to himself again (Lev. 27:13<\/span>) by payment of this estimated price and one-fifth additional, a provision which was evidently intended to be of the nature of a fine, and to be a check upon the making of rash vows. (Ibid)<\/p>\n FACT QUESTIONS 27:913<\/strong><\/p>\n 674.<\/p>\n A vow seems to indicate a desire on the part of the worshipper to do something he hasnt done or to cease from something he has been doing.

They were delivered to the sanctuary: they were sold by the priests to those Israelites who required them as sacrifices for the altar, and the money expended in the maintenance of the service.<\/p>\n ANIMALS VOWED, Lev 27:9-13<\/span>.<\/p>\n 9<\/strong>. <\/strong> A beast <\/strong> of the sacrificial kinds, if unblemished, (Lev 22:23<\/span>,) was not redeemable, but was holy unto the Lord<\/strong>. But if it was not fit for the altar, because of some blemish, it became a perquisite of the priests like the firstborn of cattle, Lev 27:33<\/span>.<\/p>\n The Price For Redemption of a Beast ( Lev 27:9-13<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> ).<\/strong> <\/p>\n Lev 27:9-10<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “And if it be a beast, of which men offer an oblation to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh shall be holy. 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 beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.” <\/p>\n Any clean and sacrificial beast vowed to Yahweh was holy. Once offered it could not be changed, whether for better of for worse. If one was replaced then both became holy to Yahweh. This being the case we would assume that the purpose of replacing it was in order to offer something more worthy of Yahweh. Yahweh will receive two offerings instead of one. But neither can be redeemed. One example of such would be a whole burnt offering. <\/p>\n Lev 27:11-13<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation to Yahweh, then he shall set the beast before the priest; and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as you the priest value it, so shall it be. But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to your estimation.” <\/p>\n Where the beast that is vowed to Yahweh is an unclean beast, possibly an ass or a camel, it can be redeemed at a price put on it by the priest. And he must add one fifth of the valuation as recompense. He has offered to Yahweh in his vow something which was of great importance to him. He wanted to give something that he treasured. Now he gladly pays a higher price to the Sanctuary in order to receive it back and in order to demonstrate his love for God. This is a somewhat similar case to the first born of an ass which must be redeemed, or its neck broken as a gift to Yahweh (Exo 13:2<\/span>; Exo 13:13<\/span>) although there the price of redemption was a lamb and it was always required. <\/p>\n Lev 27:9<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>And if it be a beast, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> A record kind of things vowed to God, are beasts; <\/em>which being of two sorts, clean and unclean, it is provided, first, with respect to clean <\/em>beasts, that every individual of this sort vowed to God, should be applied according to the direct intention of the vow: it was to be, and to be treated as holy. And, secondly, with respect to unclean <\/em>beasts, when such were devoted, they were to be valued by the priests; and then the owner had liberty either to leave them to the priests’ disposal, or to redeem them, by paying the rate set upon them, with a fifth part more, Lev 27:13<\/span>. The case was the same with regard to houses <\/em>and fields, <\/em>the other kinds of things devoted and spoken of in the subsequent verses; see Lev 27:15<\/span>; Lev 27:19<\/span>. <\/p>\n Certainly the doctrine of redemption by the LORD JESUS is all along veiled, under this doctrine of vows and dedications: so that in every gift an eye is supposed to be had to this. All things are the LORD’S by right, and the redemption implies our forfeiture of all pretensions. Ecc 5:1<\/span> .<\/p>\n Lev 27:9 And if [it be] a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that [any man] giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.<\/p>\n Ver. 9. Giveth,<\/strong> ] i.e., Consecrateth unto God by his vow; and so, giveth him of his own. 1Ch 29:14 <\/p>\n men. Some codices, with Samaritan Pentateuch, read “one”. <\/p>\n offering. Hebrew Korban. App-43. <\/p>\n all: is holy, i.e. separated and devoted; it cannot be redeemed like a human being, a house, or a field – Young Lev 27:9 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Lev 5:15 – in the Pro 20:25 – after Ecc 5:6 – it was Eze 48:14 – for Mat 15:5 – It is<\/p>\n Lev 27:9. If it be a beast it shall be holy, &c. A second sort of things vowed to God are beasts. With respect to which the law is, that the very individual beast was to be disposed of by the owner according to the first intention of his vow, whether to be sacrificed upon the altar, or given to the priests, or sold for the use of the sanctuary, the price to be applied to the repairs of the house of God, or to purchase the usual sacrifices. This is what we are to understand by its being holy, as appears from Lev 27:10. The design of this law was to preserve a reverence toward things once consecrated, that they might not return to common uses.<\/p>\n Lev 27:9-13. Commutation for an Animal.An animal once vowed is treated as holy; any attempt to substitute another less valuable renders the second holy (and forfeit) also. An unclean animal cannot be directly offered for sacrifice; it must, therefore, be sold and the price paid to the Temple; if the owner wishes to have it back he must pay an extra 20 per cent. (cf. Lev 27:15; Lev 6:5; Lev 22:14).<\/p>\n 27:9 And if [it be] a {f} beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that [any man] giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.<\/p>\n (f) Which is clean, Lev 11:2.<\/p>\n 2. Vows concerning animals 27:9-13<\/span><\/p>\n The Israelites could offer animals that the Mosaic Law classed as clean or unclean to God in payment for a vow. The priests probably used the unclean animals for various purposes other than sacrifice, or they could sell them for a profit.<\/p>\n OF THE VOWING OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS<\/p>\n Lev 27:9-13<\/p>\n “And if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblation unto the Lord, all that any man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy. 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 beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. And if it be any unclean beast of which they do not offer an oblation unto the Lord, then lie shall set the beast before the priest: and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be. But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.”<\/p>\n This next section concerns the vowing to the Lord of domestic animals (Lev 27:9-13). If the animal thus dedicated to the Lord were such as could be used in sacrifice, then the animal itself was taken for the sanctuary, service, and the vow was unalterable and irrevocable. If, however, the animal vowed was “any unclean beast,” then the priest (Lev 27:12) was to set a price upon it, according to its value; for which, we may infer, it was to be sold and the proceeds devoted to the sanctuary.<\/p>\n In this case, the person who had vowed the animal was allowed to redeem it to himself again (Lev 27:13) by payment of this estimated price and one-fifth additional, a provision which was evidently intended to be of the nature of a fine, and to be a check upon the making of rash vows.<\/p>\n And if [it be] a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that [any man] giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy. 9 13.
