27:9-13 The Case of Animals. One of the vows a man can make is to donate a clean animal to the sanctuary. No redemption of the animal is permitted once the animal has been donated. A person may also contribute an unclean animal for the service of the tabernacle. It is, however, not to be sacrificed. The priests may sell it in the markets and use the money for the sanctuary. If the original owner tries to buy it back, it will cost him 20 percent more than its valuation by the priests.
