had consecrated themselves
Primarily, to be set apart, to be consecrated, or to be regarded as holy; also, to make or declare holy, to dedicate something or someone for a special purpose, particularly in a cultic or ritual sense. The verb extends to denote the act of consecration, separation from common use to sacred use, and the recognition or treatment of a person, object, time, or place as holy. In causative stems (Piel, Hiphil), it can mean to sanctify, to declare holy, to consecrate (priests, objects, times), or to prepare for sacred use. It can also reflect entrance into a state of holiness or separation, and in some contexts, can mean to observe or treat as sacred, or to regard with highest respect and set apart from profane use.
