Leviticus 27:9-13

LEVITICUS—NOTE ON Leviticus 27:9 One of the vows a man can make is to donate a clean animal to the sanctuary. No substitution of the animal is permitted once the animal has been donated. A person may also contribute an unclean animal. It will not be sacrificed, but the priests may sell it and use the money for the sanctuary.
