חֶרְמֵי כֹהֲנִים אֵין לָהֶם פִּדְיוֹן, אֶלָּא נִתָּנִים לַכֹּהֲנִים. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶּן־בְּתֵירָא אוֹמֵר: סְתָם חֲרָמִים לְבֶדֶק הַבַּיִת, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ,,כָּל־חֵרֶם קֹדֶשׁ קָדָשִׁים הוּא לַה‘.“ וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: סְתָם חֲרָמִים לַכֹּהֲנִים, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ,,כִּשְׂדֵה הַחֵרֶם לַכֹּהֵן תִּהְיֶה אֲחֻזָּתוֹ.“ אִם כֵּן, לָמָּה נֶאֱמַר: ,,כָּל־חֵרֶם קֹדֶשׁ קָדָשִׁים הוּא לַה“? שֶׁהוּא חָל עַל־קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים וְעַל־קָדָשִׁים קַלִּים.
The charamim dedicated to the Kohanim are not redeemable, but are given to the Kohanim. R’ Yehudah ben Beseira says: Unspecified charamim are for the repairs of the Temple, as it says (Lev. 27:28): Any cherem is most holy to HASHEM. But the Sages say: Unspecified charamim are for the Kohanim, as it says (Lev. 27:21): Like the cherem field; his ancestral holding shall go to the Kohen. If so, why does it say, Any cherem is most holy to HASHEM? [To teach] that it takes effect for kodshei kodashim and kodashim kalim.
