Verse 11<\/span>. Any unclean beast<\/B><\/I>] See Clarke on <\/span>Le 27:2<\/span><\/span>.<\/P><\/p>\n If it be unclean<\/I>, either for the kind, or for the quality of it, if it were such a one as might not be offered. The dog only may seem to be excepted, for his price might not be offered. See Deu 23:18<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And if [it be] any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord<\/strong>,…. 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 x:<\/p>\n then he shall present the beast before the priest<\/strong>; 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 y.<\/p>\n x Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Menachot, c. 12. sect. 1. y Misn. ib.<\/p>\n Every unclean beast, however, – an ass for example, – which could not be offered in sacrifice, was to be placed before the priest for him to value it “between good and bad,” i.e., neither very high as if it were good, nor very low as if it were bad, but at a medium price; and it was to be according to this valuation, i.e., to be worth the value placed upon it ( according to thy, the priest’s, valuation), namely, when sold for the good of the sanctuary and its servants.<\/p>\n 11. And if it be any unclean beast. Moses now, in the second place, treats of brute animals; which God commands to be sacrificed to Him, if they are suitable for it, and does not suffer the vow to be altered. But if they be imperfect or unclean, He lays down the rule for their redemption. But the question here arises, How it can be allowable to vow what God had forbidden to be offered to Him, and so had prohibited from being brought into the temple, as being unclean? Surely if it had entered into any one’s mind to sacrifice an unclean animal, the superstition would be rejected, nay, there would be need of expiation. But here, in my opinion, another kind of offering is adverted to, which did not vitiate the sacrifices and service of God by being contrary to the injunctions of His Law. There was therefore nothing strange in His accepting such a vow, though He punishes its levity by a pecuniary fine. Besides, suppose a strong and well-tried horse was in danger, his master made a vow that if it were saved he would be bound to pay its price; and so also in the other cases. To vow was nothing else than to commit to God’s faithfulness and protection whatever they wished to be preserved. Hence the too great commonness of vows, which still it was necessary to discharge in some way, lest God’s sacred name should be exposed to ridicule. This estimation God left to the arbitration of the priest. But if an animal might be offered in sacrifice, no redemption was allowed; and if any one had substituted another animal, or paid the price of it, he was punished for his fraud, for both ( i.e., the animal, and its substitute or price) were consecrated to God. The estimation, which is imposed upon one who had vowed, is irreversible, since God simply commands the Israelites to stand by the judgment of the priest, and to abide by the taxation, as it is called, enjoined upon them as a fixed rule; and, besides, they were to add a fifth part, as an additional fine, to the price appointed by the priest. <\/p>\n (11) <\/em>And if it be any unclean beast.<\/strong>That is, if what he vows consists of an unclean beast, which does not belong to the three kinds of sacrificial quadrupeds, and which cannot therefore be sacrificed on the altar. According to the authorities during the second Temple, however, the expression unclean beast here denotes defective sacrificial animals, such as oxen, sheep, and goats with blemishes, which have become unlawful for the altar.<\/p>\n 11<\/strong>. <\/strong> Any unclean beast <\/strong> As the horse, ass, or camel; any domestic animal, the dog excepted, (Deu 23:18<\/span>,) together with blemished sacrificial animals by Hebrew interpretation, might be vowed and its value as estimated by the priest paid into the priestly treasury.<\/p>\n Lev 27:11 And if [it be] any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:<\/p>\n Ver. 11. Any unclean beast.<\/strong> ] Unless the dog were excepted. Deu 23:18 See Trapp on “<\/em> Deu 23:18 “<\/em> <\/p>\n offer = bring near. Hebrew. karab. App-43. <\/p>\n sacrifice = Hebrew. korban. <\/p>\n present = make it stand, as in Lev 27:8. <\/p>\n Deu 23:18, Mal 1:14 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Lev 27:27 – and shall add Jdg 11:31 – and I will<\/p>\n Lev 27:11. Unclean Either for the kind or for the quality of it; if it were such a one as might not be offered. In the case of any unclean beast; that is, which was not allowed to be offered in sacrifice, such as a horse, camel, &c., it was to be valued by the priest, and then the owner had liberty to leave the beast at the priests disposal, or to redeem it by paying the price set upon it, with a fifth part more. This served as a proper check to mens levity and fickleness in making vows and religious resolutions. It put them in mind not to be rash in opening their mouths to God, and made them feel the inconvenience of repenting of their vows.<\/p>\n And if [it be] any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest: Verse 11.
