27:11-13 An unclean animal, one unfit either for food or sacrifice, could be bought back by the worshiper for its assessed value plus 20 percent. No doubt the reasoning behind this rule was to preserve the sanctity of vows and to minimize thoughtless dedications. For the 20 percent surcharge on property, see 27:15, 19, 31.
