No devoted thing may be redeemed 30. The tithe may not be changed No person set apart for destruction The phrase "set apart for destruction" comes from the Hebrew word "cherem," which signifies something devoted or consecrated to God, often through destruction. In the ancient Israelite context, this term was used for things or people that were irrevocably given over to God, often as a form of divine judgment. This reflects the seriousness with which God viewed certain sins or actions that warranted such a severe decree. The concept of being "set apart" underscores the holiness and justice of God, who demands purity and righteousness from His people. may be ransomed he must surely be put to death But shall surely be put to death.--Not as a sacrifice to God, but, on the contrary, to be removed out of His sight. This is the apparent import of the passage, and seems to be confirmed by the melancholy narrative of Jephtha and his daughter (Judges 11:30). This seems to have been the interpretation put on the law in question during the second Temple, since it is embodied in the Chaldee Versions, which render the verse as follows: "Every vow that shall be vowed of man, shall not be redeemed with money, but with burnt offerings and with hallowed victims, and with supplications for mercy before the Lord, because such are to be put to death." It is, however, supposed that this Awful vow of banning could only be exercised on notorious malefactors and idolaters as dangerous to the faith of the Israelites, that it could not be made by any private individual on his own responsibility, and that when such cases occurred the community or the Sanhedrin carried out the ban as an act of judicial necessity, thus showing it to be "most holy unto the Lord." Accordingly, Leviticus 27:28-29 treat of two different cases. The former regulates objects "banned unto the Lord," which differs from the vow of dedication discussed in Leviticus 27:2-8 only in so far that it is unredeemable, whilst Leviticus 27:29 regulates the banning enacted by the law itself (Exodus 22:19), or pronounced by the court of justice on a man who is irretrievably to be put to death. . . .
