Midrash for Chullin 259:14
מה לזכרים שכן חייבין בראשית הגז
DO NOT RENDER WHAT WAS SUBSTITUTED FOR THEM [HOLY].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For although the expression, 'A good for a bad or a bad for a good', in connection with the law of Substitution (Lev. XXVII, 10) has been interpreted to mean an unblemished for a blemished animal, this applies only to a consecrated animal that later suffered a blemish, but not to a blemished animal that was later consecrated; cf. Bek. 14b.');"><sup>12</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 18:3) "And this shall be the judgment of the Cohanim": We are hereby taught that the priestly gifts (shoulder, cheeks, and maw) are "law" (to the end of extracting them by court order from a thief who stole them from a Cohein who had acquired them from hefker [ownerless property]).
