55. Substitution - Temurah
It is forbidden to substitute another animal for a
sacrificial animal, and if one does so both are holy, as
it says "[And if it is an animal of which sacrifices can
be given to Ha-Shem, any [such] that he gives to Ha-Shem
shall be holy;] he shall not exchange it and he shall
not substitute for it... and if he substitutes animal
for animal it and its substitute shall be holy".1 It
is forbidden to change any sacred thing to a sacred thing
of another type, as it says "But a firstborn... no man
shall sanctify it".2,a
