Context of Leviticus 27:9

7If a man is older than 60 years, they must give 15 pieces of silver. For a woman, they must give ten pieces of silver. 8A person might say this special promise to God. But he might be too poor to pay the money. He must bring the person to the priest. The priest will tell the person how much money to pay. The priest will know how much money the man can give. If the promise is to give an animal to God the animal becomes holy to the Lord. 10The person must not change a good animal for a bad animal. He must not change a bad animal for a good animal. If the person does change one animal for another, both the animals become holy. 11The animal might be an animal that you must not eat. And you can not give it to the Lord. If it is, the person must bring it to the priest.
