2,965. Committing Twice One's Valuation

Hilchos Arachin Vacharamin 3:12

If someone commits two times his valuation but he owns less than that amount, it is a matter of doubt. Are his finances under a lien to two valuations? If so, he should pay half of what he has for one valuation and the other half for the other valuation, thereby fulfilling his obligation. Or is he obligated to pay one full valuation? In this case, he must pay everything he has for one valuation, and the other valuation will remain a debt for him to pay according to his means, either as a rich person or as a needy person.

Hilchos Arachin Vacharamin 3:13

If someone puts aside his valuation or his actual value and the money is lost or stolen, he must replace it. This is so even if he didn’t accept responsibility for the funds; he is responsible for them until they reach the Temple treasurer as per Leviticus 27:23: "You shall give your valuation on that day, sanctified to Hashem." Even though he put the funds aside, they are considered secular until they reach the Temple treasurer.
