châram
then I will devote to destruction
To ban, prohibit for common use, or devote something irrevocably to a deity, often with the implication of destruction or removal from use. In Israelite religious practice, to place something or someone under a 'ban' (herem), marking it as permanently set apart: either for sacred use or, most frequently, for destruction as an act of devotion or obedience to divine command. The verb can also refer reflexively to becoming banned or being rendered taboo or off-limits.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2763-24
and I will put under the ban
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil sequential perfect, 1st person common singular with prefixed conjunction; causative active: "and I will cause to be under ban." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causative action: to cause something to enter the state of herem (ban/devotion). The first person singular with prefixed conjunction is preserved as "and I will," and "put under the ban" reflects the root idea of setting apart by prohibition or irrevocable devotion. |
