Commentary for Nedarim 58:1

But if you maintain that the two refer to monetary consecration, why teach them both? If a higher sanctity can automatically give way to a lower sanctity, Surely it is superfluous to state that a lower sanctity can be replaced by a higher one?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The burnt-offering has a higher sanctity than a peace-offering.
