אֶחָד הַמַּקְדִּישׁ אֶת נְכָסָיו, וְאֶחָד הַמַּעֲרִיךְ אֶת עַצְמוֹ, אֵין לוֹ, לֹא בִכְסוּת אִשְׁתּוֹ, וְלֹא בִכְסוּת בָּנָיו, וְלֹא בַצֶּבַע שֶׁצְּבָעָן לִשְׁמָן, וְלֹא בְסַנְדָּלִים חֲדָשִׁים שֶׁלְּקָחָן לִשְׁמָן. אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאָמְרוּ, עֲבָדִים נִמְכָּרִים בִּכְסוּתָן לְשֶׁבַח, שֶׁאִם תִּלָּקַח לוֹ כְסוּת בִּשְׁלֹשִׁים דִּינָר, מַשְׁבִּיחַ הוּא מָנֶה, וְכֵן פָּרָה, אִם מַמְתִּינִים אוֹתָהּ לָאִטְלִיס, מַשְׁבַּחַת הִיא, וְכֵן מַרְגָּלִית, אִם מַעֲלִין אוֹתָהּ לַכְּרָךְ, מַשְׁבַּחַת הִיא, אֵין לַהֶקְדֵּשׁ אֶלָּא מְקוֹמוֹ וְשַׁעְתּוֹ:

Whether one consecrates his property or evaluates himself, it [the Temple] has no claim to his wife's garments or his children's garments or to the dyed clothes which he had dyed for their use or to the new sandals which he has bought for their use. Although they said: “Slaves are sold with their garments to increase their value,” because when a garment for thirty <i>dinar</i> is bought for him his value is increased by a <i>maneh</i>. And likewise with a cow, if it is held in waiting to the market-day it increases in value, and similarly a pearl, if brought to a big city increases in value. Nevertheless, the Temple fund can only claim the value of anything in its own place and at its own time.
