- devoted:
- It is cherem, a thing so devoted to God, as never more to be capable of being redeemed. "Notwithstanding¹ no¹¹ devoted thing,ª that¹ a manª shall devoteª° unto the LORDª of all¹¹ that¹ he hath, [both] of manª¹ and beast,ª and of the fieldª¹ of his possession,ª shall be soldª° or redeemed:ª° every¹ devoted thingª [is] most² holyª unto the LORD.ª ... None¹¹ devoted,ª which¹ shall be² devotedª° of¹ men,ª shall be redeemed;ª° [but] shall surely²° be put to death.ª°" {Lev 27:28-29} + "And there shall cleaveª° noughtª¹ of¹ the cursed thingª to thine hand:ª that¹ the LORDª may turnª° from the fiercenessª¹ of his anger,ª and shewª° thee mercy,ª and have compassionª° upon thee, and multiplyª° thee, as¹ he hath swornª° unto thy fathers;ª" {Deu 13:17} + "And the cityª shall be¹ accursed,ª [even] it,¹ and all¹ that¹ [are] therein, to the LORD:ª only¹ Rahabª the harlotª° shall live,ª° she¹ and all¹ that¹ [are] with¹ her in the house,ª because¹ she hidª°¹ the messengersª that¹ we sent.ª°" {Jsh 6:17} + "And that whosoever¹¹ would not¹ comeª° within threeª days,ª according to the counselª of the princesª and the elders,ª all¹ his substanceª should be forfeited,ª° and himself¹ separatedª° from the congregationª¹ of those that had been carried away.ª" {Ezr 10:8} + "They¹ shall eatª° the meat offering,ª and the sin offering,ª and the trespass offering;ª and every¹ dedicated thingª in Israelª shall be¹ theirs." {Ezk 44:29} *marg.
