May the devoted animal be exchanged?

Lévitique 27:10 (NEG79)

10 On ne le changera point, et l'on n'en mettra point un mauvais à la place d'un bon ni un bon à la place d'un mauvais; si l'on remplace un animal par un autre, ils seront l'un et l'autre chose sainte.

Leviticus 27:10 anticipates the worshipper having second thoughts. With such double mindedness, the worshipper may attempt to substitute an inferior animal in the place of the one which was dedicated. Leviticus 27:10 stipulates that the worshipper may not exchange what he has promised. No redemption is possible once the animal has been donated. If the worshipper attempts to deceive the priest by exchanging the animals, then both animals are forfeited and now belong to the Lord.
