27:9 “‘If what is vowed is a kind of animal from which an offering may be presented 1 to the Lord, anything which he gives to the Lord from this kind of animal 2 will be holy. 27:10 He must not replace or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good, and if he does indeed exchange one animal for another animal, then both the original animal 3 and its substitute will be holy.
1 tn Heb “which they may present from it an offering.” The plural active verb is sometimes best rendered in the passive (GKC 460 §144.f, g). Some medieval Hebrew
2 tn Heb “from it.” The masculine suffix “it” here is used for the feminine in the MT, but one medieval Hebrew
3 tn Heb “it and its substitute.” The referent (the original animal offered) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
