1. Corbannoun

   An alms-basket; a receptacle of charity; a gift; an alms.

   Etymology: קרבנ.

   They think to satisfy all obligations to duty by their corban of religion. Charles I .

   Corban stands for an offering or gift made to God, or his temple. The Jews sometimes swore by corban, or the gifts offered unto God. If a man made all his fortune corban, or devoted it to God, he was forbidden to use it. If all that he was to give his wife, or his father and mother, was declared corban, he was no longer permitted to allow them necessary subsistence. Even debtors were permitted to defraud their creditors, by consecrating their debt to God. Our Saviour reproaches the Jews, in the Gospel, with these uncharitable and irreligious vows. By this word such persons were likewise meant as devoted themselves to the service of God and his temple. Corban signifies also the treasury of the temple, where the offerings, which were made in money, were deposited. Augustin Calmet.
