8. ‘But if he is too poor to pay your evaluation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall set a value for him. According to the ability of him who vowed, the priest shall value him.

9. ‘And if it is a beast of which they bring an offering to יהוה, all such given to יהוה is set-apart.
