The Law of the Devoted Thing (Cherem)

Leviticus 27:28-29

`Only, no devoted thing which a man devoteth to Jehovah, of all that he hath, of man, and beast, and of the field of his possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah.

`No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely put to death.
