This concept is deeply rooted in the Old and New Testaments, where dedication signifies a commitment to God and His service. It involves consecration, sanctification, and often a public declaration of devotion. Old Testament Context: 1. The Dedication of the Tabernacle and Temple: · The concept of dedication is prominently seen in the dedication of the Tabernacle and the Temple. In <a href="/bsb/exodus/40.htm">Exodus 40</a>, Moses dedicates the Tabernacle by anointing it with oil, signifying its sanctification for God's presence. Similarly, Solomon's dedication of the Temple in <a href="/bsb/1_kings/8.htm">1 Kings 8</a> is marked by prayer, sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filling the house: "When the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD" (<a href="/1_kings/8-10.htm">1 Kings 8:10</a>). 2. The Feast of Dedication: · Known as Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt. This event is not directly mentioned in the Old Testament but is referenced in the New Testament in <a href="/john/10-22.htm">John 10:22</a>: "At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter." 3. Personal Dedication: · Individuals could also be dedicated to God, as seen in the Nazarite vow (Numbers 6). This vow involved abstaining from wine, not cutting one's hair, and avoiding contact with the dead, symbolizing a life set apart for God. New Testament Context: 1. Jesus and the Temple: · Jesus' presence at the Feast of Dedication (<a href="/john/10-22.htm">John 10:22-23</a>) underscores His role as the fulfillment of the Temple's purpose. His teachings during this time highlight His identity as the Good Shepherd and the Son of God, dedicated to the salvation of His people. 2. Dedication of Believers: · The New Testament expands the concept of dedication to include the lives of believers. <a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a> urges Christians to present their bodies as "a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God," indicating a life dedicated to His service. 3. The Early Church: · The early Christians demonstrated dedication through communal living, prayer, and the breaking of bread (<a href="/acts/2-42.htm">Acts 2:42</a>). Their commitment to the apostles' teaching and fellowship exemplified a life set apart for the mission of the Gospel. Theological Significance: Dedication in the Bible signifies a profound commitment to God, involving both external acts and internal devotion. It reflects a heart wholly given to the Lord, recognizing His sovereignty and holiness. The act of dedication is not merely ritualistic but is intended to transform the individual or community into a vessel for God's purposes. Through dedication, believers acknowledge their dependence on God and their role in His divine plan.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><a href="/ezra/6-16.htm">Ezra 6:16</a> And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.

The feast was to be kept "with mirth and gladness." 2 Maccabees 10:6, 7 says it was kept like the Feast of the Tabernacles, with the carrying of palm and other branches, and the singing of psalms. Josephus calls it "Lights," from the joy which accompanied it (Ant., XII, vii, 7).
