Bible Question:
My NIV commentary says that for the ancient Jews, to "give something over to the Lord" meant to destroy it. Questions: 1. Was this always true? Were there other ways of giving something over to the Lord? 2. Why was destruction necessary? How did it signify giving something to the Lord? 3. In which cases was destruction considered necessary? 4. Is this still practiced in any way today? If so, how? Thanks in advance for any insight.... --Cheryl |
