If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy.
He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.
