Reference for Temurah 63:30

המתפיס עולה לבד"ה אין בה אלא עיכוב

In both cases the reference is to dedications for the repairs of the Temple,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The value of the dedications is given to the Temple treasurers.');"><sup>27</sup></span> and [the Mishnah teaches that] it is immaterial whether he expresses this in the language of 'dedication' For the repairs of the Temple or in the language of herem for the repairs of the Temple.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But if dedications for the altar have been declared herem for priests, the act is of no consequence.');"><sup>28</sup></span> But it is not so! For it has been taught: We may dedicate them<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Dedications for the altar.');"><sup>29</sup></span> with a value-dedication for the repairs of the Temple, and we may declare them herem as priestly property.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That the value belongs to the priests, as the property of the priests, and not to the Temple treasurer.');"><sup>30</sup></span> And, moreover, it has been [explicitly] taught: If dedications for the altar are dedicated as priestly property, the act is valid.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'what he did is done'.');"><sup>31</sup></span> Shall we say that this refutes R'Huna? - It is a refutation. But does not R'Huna adduce a Scriptural text?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 'Every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord'. How is then the text to be interpreted?');"><sup>32</sup></span> - Said 'Ulla:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This Scriptural text will not be in accordance with the opinion of R. Huna.');"><sup>33</sup></span> Scripture [could have] said: 'A devoted thing' and it says 'every devoted thing'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This is in order to intimate that herem takes effect on all things, even upon most holy things.');"><sup>34</sup></span> But did 'Ulla say this? Did not Ulla say: If one designated a burnt-offering for the repairs of the Temple, there is nothing to prevent the offering of a sacrifice except that we must wait
