Anathema

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(devoted). The devoted thing, if inanimate, fell to the priests (Num. 18:18¹⁸And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine. (Numbers 18:18)); if animate, it was to be slain (Lev. 27:28-29²⁸Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord. ²⁹None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death. (Leviticus 27:28‑29)). In N. T. a curse (Rom. 9:3³For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: (Romans 9:3); 1 Cor. 12:3; 16:22³Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. (1 Corinthians 12:3)
²²If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. (1 Corinthians 16:22)). In the latter instance Maranatha is added, the meaning being “Let him be accursed.”

Concise Bible Dictionary:

This is a Greek word untranslated in 1 Corinthians 16:22: it occurs also in Romans 9:3³For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: (Romans 9:3); 1 Corinthians 12:3³Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. (1 Corinthians 12:3); Galatians 1:8-9⁸But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. ⁹As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8‑9) and is uniformly translated “accursed.” The solemn passage in 1 Corinthians 16 is “If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed, Maranatha (the Lord cometh).” In Galatians it is said that if any person or even an angel from heaven preached any other gospel than that which they had received, let him be accursed. Two solemn denunciations relating to the person of the Lord Jesus and the gospel of God.

The word ἀνάθεμα was used for any votive offering in a heathen temple, which could not be redeemed; hence anything devoted. In the New Testament it is devoted to God’s curse, destruction.
