A person consecrates his possessions without specification. Among them is an unblemished male ox. Where do the proceeds go?
Halachah 7: Unblemished male animals consecrated without specification are sold and the proceeds used for altar offerings. Unblemished females go to Temple improvement funds.
Question 2
A home within a walled city is consecrated and redeemed by a third party. After 12 months pass without the owner redeeming it, what happens?
Halachah 4: If a third party redeems a walled-city home and 12 months pass, it becomes his permanent property — it does not return to the original owner at Jubilee.
Question 3
May an unblemished animal consecrated for the altar be redirected to Temple improvement purposes?
Halachah 6: Leviticus 22:23 forbids using unblemished animals for Temple improvement. An unblemished animal must go to the altar — its sanctity cannot be downgraded.
Question 4
A person says 'I pledge the airech of so-and-so to the altar.' What must he do?
Halachah 19: An airech pledge directed 'to the altar' requires bringing sacrifices whose total value equals the Torah-fixed airech for the subject's age group.
Question 5
If an altar-consecrated animal becomes permanently blemished and is slaughtered before redemption, what must be done?
Halachah 13: Slaughtering a consecrated animal before redemption renders it forbidden for benefit. The Rambam rules its carcass must be buried, as it retains a degree of consecrated status.
