A person can't use that money to pay for the things he promised to give to God. Why? Because the Lord your God hates for people to sell their bodies for sexual sin.
FOOTNOTES: F145: temple prostitute   The people who worshiped false gods in the land of Canaan had both men and women serving as priests by giving their bodies in sexual sin. F146: man   Literally, "dog." This probably means a man paid by other men that use him for sexual sin.
