9 ‘Now if it is an animal of the kind which men can present as an offering to the LORD, any such that one gives to the LORD shall be holy. “If the vow is an animal that may be offered as an offering to the LORD, all of it that he gives to the LORD is holy. “’If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the LORD, such an animal given to the LORD becomes holy.

They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one; if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy.

Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain.

And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the LORD. Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod—will be holy to the LORD.
33 The man is not to be concerned whether the animal is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it. But if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy; it shall not be redeemed.’” One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.” No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’”
