This chapter stated that as animals consecrated for the altar have inherent sanctity, they can become disqualified as piggul, notar, or by ritual impurity, and they are disqualified when blemished or when they have sustained a wound that will cause them to die within twelve months. By contrast, animals consecrated for Temple maintenance cannot become disqualified in any of the aforementioned ways. Additionally, one who slaughters an animal consecrated for the altar outside the Temple courtyard is liable to receive karet if he did so intentionally but without forewarning, or to receive lashes if he acted intentionally and with forewarning. Furthermore, an animal consecrated for the altar maintains a level of sanctity even after it is redeemed, which means that benefit from its milk and its offspring remains prohibited. None of these halakhot apply to animals consecrated for Temple maintenance. Although there are many prohibitions associated with items consecrated for the altar, these prohibitions apply to only a select few items: Kosher animals, doves, and pigeons; flour and oil of meal offerings; and wine used for libations. By contrast, any item of monetary value may be consecrated for Temple maintenance. Another distinction between items consecrated for the altar and those consecrated for Temple maintenance involves the halakhot of substitution. One can render an animal exchanged for an animal consecrated for the altar a substitute, but this cannot be done with animals consecrated for Temple maintenance. There are also certain similarities between these two categories of consecrated items. For example, one may not alter the designation of a consecrated item from one form of sanctity to another. Nevertheless, one may consecrate any consecrated item with an additional consecration, i.e., consecration of its value, and likewise one may dedicate a consecrated item. This chapter also discussed the halakha of a consecrated animal that died naturally, from which benefit remains prohibited even after its death. Sacrificial animals that died are buried, whereas disqualified sacrificial animals and some other prohibited items are burned. Items that cannot be burned, e.g., liquids, are buried. In principle, items that are buried may not be burned and items that are burned may not be buried.
