Beth Shammai dice: Hekdesh (consagración) en error es hekdesh, [derivado de temurah (un sustituto), que es hekdesh incluso en error, está escrito (Levítico 27:10): "Y esto (la ofrenda) y su sustituto será sagrado, "" será "expuesto para incluir la sustitución involuntaria junto con la sustitución ingeniosa.] Y Beth Hillel dice: No es Hekdesh. [Porque no derivamos el comienzo de hekdesh— algo que no viene del "poder" de hekdesh — de algo que viene del poder de hekdesh —de temurah, que es el fin de hekdesh, que viene del poder de algo diferente que ya era hekdesh.] ¿Cómo es eso? Si él dijo: "Que el buey negro que sale de mi casa primero sea hekdesh", y salió uno blanco. Beth Shammai dice que es hekdesh, y Beth Hillel dice que no es hekdesh.
Bartenura on Mishnah Nazir
בית שמאי אומרים הקדש טעות הקדש – for we derive it from the exchange of one sacrificial animal for another, which is, even by mistake/error, as it is written (Leviticus 27:10): “the thing vowed and its substitute shall be holy,” and we expound/interpret it to include something done inadvertently like something done willfully.

Bartenura on Mishnah Nazir
וב"ה אומרים אינו הקדש – that we don’t learn the beginning of consecration is a matter that does not come from the power of consecration from the exchange of one sacrificial animal for another, which is the end of consecration which comes from the power of another thing that was consecrated.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
How is this so? If someone says, “The black bull that leaves my house first shall be consecrated,” and a white one comes out, Beth Shammai says: it is consecrated, But Beth Hillel says: it is not consecrated. According to Beth Shammai, the white bull is consecrated. When he said “the black bull” he meant the “first bull” but he assumed it would be a black one. Since “something consecrated in error is consecrated”, he must give the white bull to the Temple. Beth Hillel says that it is not consecrated, for he made a mistake in assuming that it would be a black bull.
