But in the case of a nedabah, i.e., where he said: 'This animal is to be a freewill-offering', since if it died or if it became lost, he is not responsible for it, if he therefore subsequently dedicated it for the repairs of the Temple, he only gives the Temple treasurer a small amount, in consideration for the right he has to receive a small sum from an Israelite friend for allowing the latter's grandson, a priest, to offer the animal and receive the skin of the burnt-offering (Rashi) .');"><sup>3</sup></span> AND WE MAY DECLARE THEM HEREM.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 'Devoted' (v.
