I that case it can also refer to an animal consecrated to the altar!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For since the animal only was consecrated and not the fleece, it is permitted to use the fleece, hence it is necessary for Scripture to teach that it need not be given to the priest.');"><sup>18</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"your flock": and not that of others (i.e., of gentiles [that you have purchased]). From here it was ruled that one who purchases the shearing of a flock belonging to gentiles is exempt from the (obligation of) the first of the shearing. The shearing of his flock (that he purchased) from his neighbor — if the seller left over (of the shearing itself) for himself, the seller is liable (for the first of the shearing); if he did not, (i.e., if he told the buyer: The first of the shearing of the Cohein is with you), the buyer is liable.

Sifrei Devarim
"shall you give to him": There must be enough for a gift — whence they ruled: How much does he give him? The weight of five selaim in Yehudah, which is ten in the Galil, cleansed, for the making of a small garment.
