“Sacred things of Hashem” — even if one dedicated to the altar something fit only for bedek ha-bayit… brine, vinegar, fish, and locusts.
In the sugya: Once an item has been validly dedicated, it enters the domain of me’ilah even if it is not suitable for the altar itself. Items more appropriate for Temple maintenance (or even unconventional foods) still generate liability if misused after consecration.
Type of Learning
Ribbuy of unconventional dedications — fitness for the altar is not required once dedication has occurred.
What Is Learned
Once something is validly dedicated, misuse triggers me’ilah regardless of fitness for the altar. Brine, vinegar, fish, locusts, and similar items that are fit only for bedek ha-bayit still fall under the prohibition if they have been consecrated and then misused.
