And what will the text 'it' exclude according to the opinion of R'Johanan? - It excludes an animal blemished from the beginning.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Prior to the dedication. R. Johanan certainly holds that the text, 'Whether it be good or bad' refers to dedications for the repairs of the Temple. Nevertheless the text, 'And the priest shall value it' refers both to the text, 'Of which they do not offer', which we explained above as dealing with dedications for the altar and to the later text, 'Whether it be good etc.', which deals with dedications for the repairs of the Temple. And the text 'it' excludes an animal blemished from the beginning from being dedicated for the altar. And, according to Resh Lakish, there is no need to exclude the case of an animal blemished from the beginning from the law of being presented and appraised, since according to his opinion, the Rabbis hold that dedications for the altar are not, included in the law of being presented and appraised, even if the dedication preceded the blemish, and how much more so is this the case with an animal blemished from the beginning.');">⁷</span>
