28f. The Ban.Devoted things are things dedicated to God without possibility of redemption, i.e. put under the ban and not to be touched by men (pp. 99, 114, Deuteronomy 2:34 *, Judges 1:17 *). Hence, according to the old rule, a human being so devoted must be put to death (cf. Joshua 6:17 *, 1 Samuel 15:21). There are no later instances. Such an act, mentioned as it is here, if not simply looking back to historical instances, must refer only to capital crimes, all of which now come under the cognisance of the priests. Ezekiel 44:29 assigns all objects so devoted (? including human beings) to the priests.
