“And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the Lord, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.”
If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the Lord, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain. The house dedication vow — the dedication of one's house to the Lord — follows the same priestly valuation process as the unclean animal. The priest who evaluates the house sets its value, and that value is authoritative. The dedication of a house to the Lord is one of the practical expressions of the covenant community's generosity: what one owns, one can consecrate to God's service.
