21 But the field, ^wwhen it is released in the jubilee, shall be a holy gift to the Lord, like a field that has been ^xdevoted. The priest shall be in ^ypossession of it.

17 And the city and all that is within it shall be ⁿdevoted to the Lord for destruction.¹ Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall live, because she ^ohid the messengers whom we sent. 18 But you, keep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted them you take any of the devoted things and make the camp of Israel ^pa thing for destruction and ^qbring trouble upon it. 19 But all silver and gold, and every vessel of bronze and iron, are holy to the Lord; they shall go into the treasury of the Lord.”

21 ^vBut the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”
