28 “But no ^kdevoted thing that a man devotes to the Lord, of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord. 29 No one devoted, who is to be devoted for destruction¹ from mankind, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

17 And the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the Lord for destruction.¹ Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall live, because ^jshe hid the messengers whom we sent.

21 Then they ^odevoted all in the city to destruction, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys, with the edge of the sword.
