רבי יוסי ברבי יהודה אומר פרט לעולת גרים אמר ליה רב סימאי בר חילקאי לרבינא אטו גר לאו איש הוא אמר ליה פרט לגר שמת ואין לו יורשים

Then how does the Master explain it? - I explain it as referring to one who dedicates his property [to Temple Repair], he replied, and it is in accordance with R'Joshua. For we learnt: If one dedicates his property, amongst which were animals eligible for the altar, both males and females, - R'Eliezer said: The males must be sold for the purpose of burnt-offerings, and the females must be sold for the purpose of peace-offerings,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If one consecrates an animal fit for the altar to Temple Repair, the animal must be sacrificed. Hence these animals must be sold to those who need them for sacrifices. This selling constitutes redemption, for R. Eliezer holds that everything consecrated for Temple Repair must be redeemed, if it cannot be used itself for that purpose, and the money goes to that fund.');">²²</span>
