1 tn Heb “and the priest shall cause it to be valued.” See the note on v. 8 above.
2 tn Heb “it and its substitute.” The referent (the original animal offered) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

5 tn Heb “harmful animal,” singular, but taken here as a collective plural (so almost all English versions).

4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the owner of the animal) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Heb “And if exchanging [infinitive absolute] he exchanges it [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

7 tn Heb “it shall be and its substitute shall be holy.”
