Things Permanently Dedicated to the Lord

27:28 “‘Surely anything which a man permanently dedicates to the Lord ²  from all that belongs to him, whether from people, animals, or his landed property, must be neither sold nor redeemed; anything permanently dedicated is most holy to the Lord.

Leviticus 27:33

27:33 The owner ³  must not examine the animals to distinguish between good and bad, and he must not exchange it. If, however, he does exchange it, ⁴  both the original animal ⁵  and its substitute will be holy. ⁶  It must not be redeemed.’”

¹ tn Heb “it and its substitute.” The referent (the original animal offered) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
