Herem is a Hebrew term meaning 'devotion to destruction' or 'the ban,' referring to the complete destruction or exclusion of certain people, places, or things, as commanded by God. It is often associated with the ancient Israelite conquest of Canaan, where herem was applied to ensure the eradication of enemy populations and their practices in order to maintain religious purity and devotion to Yahweh.
