Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the Lord--a clean beast. After it had been vowed, it could neither be employed in common purposes nor exchanged for an equivalent--it must be sacrificed--or if, through some discovered blemish, it was unsuitable for the altar, it might be sold, and the money applied for the sacred service. If an unclean beast--such as an ass or camel, for instance, had been vowed, it was to be appropriated to the use of the priest at the estimated value, or it might be redeemed by the person vowing on payment of that value, and the additional fine of a fifth more. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| When animals were vowed, of the cattle that were usually offered in sacrifice, everything that was given to Jehovah of these (i.e., dedicated to Him by vowing) was to be holy and not changed, i.e., exchanged, a good animal for a bad, or a bad one for a good. But if such an exchange should be made, the animal first dedicated and the one substituted were both to be holy (Lev 27:9, Lev 27:10). The expression "it shall be holy" unquestionably implies that an animal of this kind could not be redeemed; but if it was free from faults, it was offered in sacrifice: if, however, it was not fit for sacrifice on account of some blemish, it fell to the portion of the priests for their maintenance like the first-born of cattle (cf. Lev 27:33). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Whereof men bring an offering - That is, a clean beast. Giveth - Voweth to give: Shall be holy - Consecrated to God, either to be sacrificed, or to be given to the priest, according to the manner of the vow, and the intention of him that voweth. |
33 He shall not search [01239] whether it be good [02896] or bad [07451], neither shall he change [04171] it: and if he change [04171] it at all [04171], then both it and the change [08545] thereof shall be holy [06944]; it shall not be redeemed [01350].
10 He shall not alter [02498] it, nor change [04171] it, a good [02896] for a bad [07451], or a bad [07451] for a good [02896]: and if he shall at all [04171] change [04171] beast [0929] for beast [0929], then it and the exchange [08545] thereof shall be holy [06944].
9 And if it be a beast [0929], whereof men bring [07126] an offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], all that any man giveth [05414] of such unto the LORD [03068] shall be holy [06944].
