Corban is one of the misunderstood words of the Bible but it was at the core of the Christian conflict with the Pharisees and eventually with Rome.

Rome had its own system of Qorban which had changed from its early days as a republic to something that brought in corruption and despotism.

What was Corban really about and are there different types of corban?

And more important do we have a form of Corban today and is it in conformity with Christ or with the Pharisees?

The term offering or "free will offering" as found in the Torah in relation to the worship of Ancient Israel is mainly represented by the Hebrew noun korban (קָרְבָּן) which we see as Corban κορβαν in the New Testament.

  • Mark 7:11 "But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; [he shall be free]."

The same word is also translated treasury in Matthew 27:6

  • "And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood."

This is a very misunderstood word because the Pharisees and other groups of Judea had twisted the purpose of this ancient form of worship. Worship was never meant to be a pattern of mindless rituals or mumbo-jumbo repetition of words, chants or incantations.[1]

The Hebrew word qorban ןברק appears some 82 times in the Old Testament and is translated offering 68, oblation 12, offered 1, sacrifice 1. It is defined by some to mean "offering, oblation" and is from the Hebrew word qarab ברק which as a verb. It is defined "to come near, approach, enter into, draw near or cause to draw near".

This same word is translated as offer 95 times, but as (come, draw, … ) near 58, bring 58, (come, draw, … ) nigh 18, come 12, approach 10, at hand 4, presented 2, and another 13 other ways, appearing some 280 times. This same letter combination appears another 250 times and is translate many different ways like "midst, among, inner part, middle, battle, and war.

Why so many different ways?

Well this is how the Pharisees and others deceived the people to go astray from the purposes of God.

Sacrifice or your offerings had a purpose whether an animal or other things offered. In Hebrew the noun korban is used for a variety of sacrificial offerings described in the Hebrew Bible.

"A korban was often an animal sacrifice, such as a sheep or a bull that underwent Jewish ritual slaughter, and was often cooked and eaten by the offerer, with parts given to the priests and parts burned or consumed on the Temple mizbe'ah. Sacrifices could also consist of doves, grain or meal, wine, or incense."[1]

But why a sacrifice and what was burning, consuming or eating really about?

Every successful society has instituted some method of taking care of the elderly, indigent and needy within their society. This was called the daily ministration [2] in the New Testament but also Pure Religion.

The word ministration in the Greek is from diakonia διακονία and is translated ministry 16 times, ministration 6, ministering 3, along with 9 other ways. It is defined as "service, ministering, esp. of those who execute the commands of others" and is said to be "the office of the deacon in the church" or even "the service of those who prepare and present food".

It is from the Greek noun diakonos διάκονος which is translated minister 20 times, servant 8, deacon only 3 times. It is defined "one who executes the commands of another, esp. of a master, a servant, attendant, minister".

So in the first century and for centuries to follow the Church was to feed His sheep by actually providing bread and other foods for the needy. The Church was composed of benefactors who provided actual service for the needy through free will offerings. These offerings of charity was the Corban of Christ given out of love for one another.

Modern Christians get their benefits from men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other instead of by charity and the perfect law of liberty. What they are doing in their churches today looks nothing like what the early church did nor what Christ said to do yet they imagine they are believers. They say but do not do as Christ said.

Their actual Corban is through the favor or grace of the state which weakens the people and entangles them in the elements of the world.

Those men called benefactors can exercise authority over all those who seek their benefits and because those benefits are provided at the expense of their neighbor by the force and power of the state to desire those benefits is called covetousness.

John the Baptist and his baptism, Jesus teaching on love and keeping the commandment, Peters warning about covetous making us merchandise and Paul's constant proclaiming of the importance of charity are testimony of the the Gospel.

But there is still a cognitive disconnect in the minds of the Modern Christians where they will not see that they are practicing daily the Corban of the Pharisees that made the word of God to none effect and disobeying Christ's instructions while saying they have faith in Him.

The word worship in the Old Testament is shachah החשׁ which is translated worship 99 times, but bow 31 times, bow down 18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3, themselves 2, stoop 1, crouch 1, misc 3. It is defined "to bow down" "before superior in homage".

Please read, pray and repent
The Corban of the Pharisees
It made the word of God to none effect.
Is our Corban making the word of God to none effect today?
