Chorem

Usage

In the Hebrew Bible, "Chorem" refers to something that is devoted to God, often through destruction. It is used in contexts where objects, people, or cities are set apart for God, typically through complete destruction, as a form of divine judgment or dedication. This concept is closely associated with the idea of a "ban" or "curse" placed upon something that is irredeemably given over to God.
