Every devoted thing
In the context of ancient Israel, "devoted things" refers to items or people set apart for God, often through a vow or as a result of a divine command. 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 Leviticus 27:28-29, where devoted things are irrevocably given to the Lord.

in Israel
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 (Exodus 19:6). The land of Israel itself was considered holy, and the people were to live in a way that reflected God's holiness.

belongs to you
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 (Numbers 18:20-21). 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 (Psalm 24:1).

Teaching Points
Understanding Devotion
The term "devoted" (Hebrew: "cherem") implies something set apart for God. In our lives, we should consider what we have devoted to God and ensure it is truly set apart for His purposes.

Priestly Provision
Just as the Levites were provided for through the devoted things, we should support those who minister in our communities, recognizing their role in spiritual leadership.

Holiness and Ownership
Everything devoted to God belongs to Him. This principle challenges us to examine our lives and ensure that we are not withholding anything that should be dedicated to God.

Generosity and Stewardship
The Israelites' practice of devoting things to God teaches us about generosity and stewardship. We are called to manage our resources in a way that honors God.

Spiritual Inheritance
The Levites' inheritance was not land but the devoted things. This reminds us that our true inheritance is spiritual, not material, and we should prioritize spiritual blessings over earthly possessions.(14) Every thing devoted . . . --See Leviticus 27:21-28.

Verse 14. - Everything devoted. כָּל־חֵרֶם. Septuagint, πᾶν ἀνατεθεματισμένον, all deodands, or things vowed (see on Leviticus 27:28).
