This concept is rooted in the Hebrew term "cherem," which implies something consecrated or banned from common use. Such items were often destroyed or given to the priests, signifying total dedication to God. This practice underscores the holiness and separateness required in worship and service to God, as seen in <a href="/leviticus/27-28.htm">Leviticus 27:28-29</a>, where devoted things are irrevocably given to the Lord.<p><b>in Israel</b><br>The phrase "in Israel" indicates that this command applies specifically to the nation of Israel, God's chosen people. Israel's unique covenant relationship with God meant that their laws and practices were distinct from surrounding nations. This covenantal context is crucial, as it highlights Israel's role as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation (<a href="/exodus/19-6.htm">Exodus 19:6</a>). The land of Israel itself was considered holy, and the people were to live in a way that reflected God's holiness.<p><b>belongs to you</b><br>This phrase is directed to the Levitical priests, who were given the devoted things as part of their inheritance. Unlike the other tribes of Israel, the Levites did not receive a portion of the land; instead, their inheritance was the Lord and the offerings made to Him (<a href="/numbers/18-20.htm">Numbers 18:20-21</a>). This provision ensured that the priests could focus on their duties without the need for agricultural labor. The concept of belonging also points to the idea of stewardship, where the priests were responsible for managing what was devoted to God, reflecting the principle that all things ultimately belong to Him (<a href="/psalms/24.htm">Psalm 24:1</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are given specific laws and instructions to follow.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_levites.htm">The Levites</a></b><br>A tribe set apart for priestly duties, receiving the devoted things as part of their inheritance.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, through whom God communicates His laws and instructions.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron.htm">Aaron</a></b><br>The first high priest and brother of Moses, representing the priestly line that receives the devoted things.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The dwelling place of God among His people, where the Levites perform their duties.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_devotion.htm">Understanding Devotion</a></b><br>The term "devoted" (Hebrew: "cherem") implies something set apart for God.
