And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad,.... Put a price upon it according to its worth, as it shall appear to him:
as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be; that shall be the price at which it shall be sold, not to the owner or devoter of it, for he must give more, as appears from Leviticus 27:13; but, as Jarchi observes, to all other men who come to purchase it.
