⁹ And if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblation unto Jehovah, all that any man giveth of such unto Jehovah shall be holy.

¹² And the priest shall make a valuation between the good and the bad, and accordingly as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

⁸ But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

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:

¹² And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.

⁸ But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

⁸ If anyone who has made such a solemn promise is very poor and unable to pay to free that person from doing what he had promised, he must take that person to the priest. The priest will set the price for freeing him to be what the person who made that solemn promise is able to pay.

⁹ If someone solemnly promises to give an animal that is acceptable to be an offering to me, that animal becomes sacred and belongs to me.

¹⁰ The person who promised to give it must not give another animal instead of the one that he promised; he must not substitute a bad animal for a good one or even a better one than the one offered. If he would substitute one animal for the other, both animals would belong to me.

¹¹ If the animal that he wishes to dedicate to me is a kind that is unacceptable to be an offering to me, he must take that animal to the priest.

¹² The priest will then decide what its value is, according to the animal's good and bad points. Whatever value the priests sets will be the value of the animal, and that is the price that the priest must pay for the animal.

¹¹ If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to the LORD, then he shall set the animal before the priest;

¹² and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall be.

⁸ But if he is poorer than the value which you have put on him, then let him be taken to the priest, and the priest will put a value on him, such as it is possible for him to give.

⁹ And if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man gives of such to the Lord will be holy.

¹⁰ It may not be changed in any way, a good given for a bad, or a bad for a good; if one beast is changed for another, the two will be holy.

¹¹ And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest;

¹² And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be.

⁸ And if he be poorer than thy valuation, he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him: according to his means that vowed shall the priest value him.

⁹ But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, shall be holy,

¹⁰ And cannot be changed, that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.

¹¹ An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:

¹² Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:

⁸ However, if when you fulfill your promise you are poorer than the fixed value, you are to present the person before the priest, who will then set the value depending on what you can afford.

⁹ If when you fulfill your promise you bring an animal that is permitted as an offering to the Lord, the animal given to the Lord shall be considered holy.

¹⁰ You are not allowed to replace it or swap it, either for one that is better or one that is worse. However, if you do replace it then both animals become holy.

¹² and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be.
