"The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all that are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent."
Joshua 6:17

"For nothing a man owns and devotes to the Lord- whether man or animals or family land- may be sold or redeemed; anything so devoted  is most holy to the Lord."
Leviticus 27:28
