Leviticus 27:28

no devoted thing The word lit. means set apart, separated (Arab. harama, whence harem, the occupants of the women's portion of a Mohammedan house, or the apartments themselves). See on Exodus 22:20 for examples of its application, and for the superiority of R.V. over A.V. in the English rendering. For the different species of separationin this sense see HDB., Art. Ban(Kennedy), where a distinction is drawn between objects set apart for God by individuals (the -private ban") referred to in this v., and those persons, such as the idolater or blasphemer, who were subjected to a judicial sentence by the authorities. The latter are those meant in Leviticus 27:29
