Talmud for Pesachim 57:14

רב אחא בר רבא תנא לה

He who says [that] he commits trespass holds, One may redeem sacred food in order to feed dogs therewith; while he who rules [that] he does not commit trespass holds, One may not redeem [etc.].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If these Tannaim held with R. Simeon that during Passover it is forbidden for general use, they would agree that he is not liable for trespass, since it was valueless when he actually ate it, notwithstanding that it would become valuable after Passover. But they hold with R. Jose the Galilean that leaven is permitted for use during Passover. Now, the only use to which leaven can be put then is to give it to dogs. This may be done with ordinary leaven, but there is a controversy in respect of sacred leaven. The first Tanna holds that it can be redeemed for that purpose: hence the leaven is valuable, and therefore the eater commits trespass. But the others ('some say') hold that sacred leaven may not be redeemed for dogs. Consequently it has no value, and the eater does not commit trespass.');"><sup>15</sup></span> R'Aha B'Raba recited

Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim

The colleagues said, in the fifth [hour] following Rebbi Jehudah if he dedicated it it is dedicated138In order to avoid having to burn the leavened matter, he dedicates it to the Temple to be sold and the proceeds used for the Temple’s needs. Temple property is not subject to the prohibition of leavened matter since it is not yours as mentioned in Ex.13:7.; if he designated it as heave it is no heave. If he dedicated it it is dedicated, dedication of money’s worth139Even for R. Jehudah the biblical prohibition of usufruct only starts on midday of the 14th; during the fifth hour the matter is worth money even for Jews, since it may be used as cattle feed.. If he designated it as heave it is no heave, since heave was given only to be consumed140Heave is a sanctum to be given to the Cohen to be consumed in purity; nothing pure that cannot be consumed may become heave.. Rebbi Yose told them, the opposite is reasonable. If he dedicated it it is not dedicated; if he designated it as heave it is heave. If he dedicated it it is not dedicated, since one does not redeem sancta to feed to the dogs141Babli 29a, Ševuot 11b, Bekhorot 15a, Temurah 17a,30b,31a; Yerushalmi Maˋaser Šeni 2:5 Note 82.. If he designated it as heave it is heave, since it is pure by the words of the Torah142Since by biblical standards it is food until 12 am, a rabbinic prohibition cannot invalidate a biblically valid dedication. This cannot be compared with the case of preliminary marriage since there money’s worth is required, which was eliminated by rabbinic usage.. You are the one who decided that it has to be burned.
