Corban:
signifies
(a) "an offering," and was a Hebrew term for any sacrifice, whether by the shedding of blood or otherwise;
(b) "a gift offered to God," Mar 7:11. Jews were much addicted to rash vows; a saying of the Rabbis was, "It is hard for the parents, but the law is clear, vows must be kept." The Sept. translates the word by doron, "a gift." See korbanas, under TREASURY, Mat 27:6.

Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
