If you do, both animals belong to the Lord . ¹¹ But if your vow concerns a ritually unclean animal, which is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord , you shall take the animal to the priest. ¹² The priest shall set a price for it, according to its good or bad qualities, and the price will be final. ¹³ If you wish to buy it back, you must pay the price plus an additional 20 percent.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if [it be] any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord,.... Any creature, excepting a dog, the price of which was not to be brought into the house of the Lord; besides oxen, sheep, goats, rams, and lambs; though some understand it even of such that have blemishes on them, and so not fit to be offered unto the Lord; so Jarchi and others x:

then he shall present the beast before the priest; to be viewed, examined, and judged of as to its worth, and a value put upon it, that it might be sold or redeemed, as no other but a beast might; so it is observed birds, wood, frankincense, and ministering vessels, have no redemption, for it is only said a beast y.
