Mesorat%20hashas for Keritot 6:8
מְבִיאִין מֵהֶקְדֵּשׁ כִּשְׂבָּה, שְׂעִירָה. מֵהֶקְדֵּשׁ שְׂעִירָה, כִּשְׂבָּה. מֵהֶקְדֵּשׁ כִּשְׂבָּה וּשְׂעִירָה, תּוֹרִין וּבְנֵי יוֹנָה. מֵהֶקְדֵּשׁ תּוֹרִין וּבְנֵי יוֹנָה, עֲשִׂירִית הָאֵיפָה. כֵּיצַד. הִפְרִישׁ לְכִשְׂבָּה אוֹ לִשְׂעִירָה, הֶעֱנִי, יָבִיא עוֹף. הֶעֱנִי, יָבִיא עֲשִׂירִית הָאֵיפָה. הִפְרִישׁ לַעֲשִׂירִית הָאֵיפָה, הֶעֱשִׁיר, יָבִיא עוֹף. הֶעֱשִׁיר, יָבִיא כִשְׂבָּה וּשְׂעִירָה. הִפְרִישׁ כִּשְׂבָּה אוֹ שְׂעִירָה וְנִסְתָּאֲבוּ, אִם רָצָה יָבִיא בִדְמֵיהֶן עוֹף. הִפְרִישׁ עוֹף וְנִסְתָּאֵב, לֹא יָבִיא בְדָמָיו עֲשִׂירִית הָאֵיפָה, שֶׁאֵין לָעוֹף פִּדְיוֹן:
[If one] set aside money to buy a lamb [for a <i>Chattat</i>, he may use the money to buy] a goat; [if he set aside money] to buy a goat [he may use the money to buy] a lamb. [If one] set aside money to buy a lamb or a goat, [he may use the money to buy] turtle-doves or pigeons. [If one] set aside money to buy turtle-doves or pigeons, [he may use the money to buy] a tenth of an <i>Ephah</i> [of flour, such a measure weighing about two kilograms]. How so? [If] one set aside [money] for a lamb or for a goat and becomes poor [before bringing the <i>Chattat</i>], he brings a bird [with the money]; if he becomes poorer still [before bringing the <i>Chattat</i>] he brings a tenth of an <i>Ephah</i> [with the money]. [Conversely, if] one set aside [money] for the tenth of an <i>Ephah</i> and becomes rich [before bringing the <i>Chattat</i>], he brings a bird-offering [with the money]; if he becomes richer still [before bringing the <i>Chattat</i>], he brings a lamb or a goat. [If one] set aside a lamb or a goat which became blemished, if he wants he may [redeem the animal by selling it and] use the money to bring a bird-offering.[If one] set aside a bird-offering which became blemished, he may [redeem it to] use the money to bring a tenth of an <i>Ephah</i> since a bird-offering cannot be redeemed.
