Commentary for Meilah 29:9

דאמר קרא (ויקרא ה, טו) נפש כי תמעול מעל מקדשי ה' קדשים המיוחדין לה' יש בהן מעילה אבל קדשי מזבח אית בהו לכהנים ואית בהו לבעלים

although the one is consecrated as such and the other only for its value, was it then necessary to mention at all that things dedicated for the altar can combine with others of the same nature? - Since he had to state the addition in this connection: 'AND TO RENDER ONE CULPABLE FOR [TRANSGRESSING THE LAWS OF] PIGGUL, NOTHAR AND DEFILEMENT', which is inapplicable to things dedicated for Temple repair.
