And if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man gives of such to the Lord will be holy.

And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest;

And if it is an unclean beast, then the owner of it may give money to get it back, in agreement with the value fixed by you, by giving a fifth more; or if it is not taken back, let it be given for money in agreement with your valuing.
