- and shall add:
- This was probably intended to prevent rash vows and covetous redemptions. The priest alone was to value the thing; and to whatever his valuation was, a fifth part must be added by him who wished to redeem it. "And if¹ [it be] any¹ uncleanª beast,ª of which¹¹ they do not¹ offerª° a sacrificeª unto the LORD,ª then he shall presentª°¹ the beastª beforeª the priest:ª ... But if¹ he will at all²° redeemª° it, then he shall addª° a fifthª [part] thereof unto¹ thy estimation.ª" {Lev 27:11-13}
