Definition: Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

Explanation: Okay, let's break down this verse from Numbers 18:14: “Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.” It’s a really important principle about ownership and respect. Here’s what it means in simpler terms: Basically, it means that everything you dedicate – whether it’s a physical object, a skill, or even your time – is now yours to use and manage. Let's unpack that a little further: “Devoted in Israel” : This refers to the land of Israel. It's not just about being in Israel, but dedicated to it, meaning it’s used for God’s purposes and to benefit the people of Israel. Think of it like giving something precious to God as a sign of your devotion. “Shall be thine” : This is a very direct command – it means you are now in control of what you dedicate. You have the right to use, manage, and even profit from this thing. Think of it like this: When you give something precious to God, you’re essentially giving it to Him as a testament to your faith and commitment. It's a way of showing that you are responsible for using it wisely and for the good of others. Important Context (briefly): This verse is part of the Ten Commandments and emphasizes the importance of obedience to God's laws. It’s about respecting His authority over everything we do and own. --- Do you want me to: Explain another Bible verse? Give you a little more context about this verse?
