However, in this instance, the Israelites were instructed to dedicate these valuable items to God. This reflects the principle of firstfruits, where the first and best of what one has is given to God. The metals mentioned—silver, gold, bronze, and iron—were highly prized in the ancient Near East for their utility and value. These materials were often used in the construction of sacred objects and places, such as the Tabernacle and later the Temple, signifying their importance in worship and dedication to God.<p><b>are holy to the LORD;</b><br>The term "holy" signifies something set apart for a sacred purpose. In this context, the items are consecrated to God, indicating that they are not for personal use or gain. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness, where God calls His people to be set apart and dedicated to Him. The act of setting these items apart underscores the recognition of God's sovereignty and the acknowledgment that victory and provision come from Him.<p><b>they must go into His treasury.”</b><br>The treasury of the LORD refers to a designated place where items dedicated to God were stored. This could be seen as a precursor to the treasury in the Temple, where offerings and dedicated items were kept. The command to place these items in God's treasury emphasizes the importance of obedience and the proper handling of things dedicated to God. It also foreshadows the later practices of temple worship and the collection of offerings for the maintenance of religious services and the support of the priesthood. This act of dedication serves as a reminder of the Israelites' covenant relationship with God and their responsibility to honor Him with their possessions.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joshua.htm">Joshua</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who succeeded Moses and led the people into the Promised Land.
