The prophets and Chronicles use it for sins such as abomination or Achar's trespass with the devoted thing. Interpretation: Tradition reads the prophets as teaching that a person who turns away from all the wrongs he has committed will live. In the primary lessons: In everyday life and sport, a committed player never misses training. In news and stories, a crime is «committed». In formal language, money «committed to» a project is set aside for it. Phrases: committed to, committed a crime, committed a foul, fully committed. ### examples - And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree; (Torah DEU.21.22, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/C/committed/#x1) - And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
