3:6 Giving a tenth
6 “I am Yahweh and I don’t change—that’s the only reason why you descendants of Yacob haven’t been destroyed. 7 Ever since the time when your ancestors were alive, you all have ignored my commands and refused to obey them. Now return to me—if you all do so, I’ll return to you. That’s what I, army-commander Yahweh, say. But you all ask, ‘How can we return to you?’ 8 Can a human rob God? Yes, you’re all robbing me, but you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ By failing to give a tenth plus offerings. 9 You’re all cursed because you’re robbing me—the whole nation of you. 10 Bring the full tenth into the temple storeroom, so that there’ll be food in my house for the temple workers,” says army-commander Yahweh. “In fact, you all can test me by doing that and see if I don’t open the windows of heaven for you all and pour out an overflowing blessing for you.[ref] 11 I’ll rebuke the devourer[fn] for you all, so that it won’t destroy your crops, and the fruit off your vines in the countryside won’t be lost,” says army-commander Yahweh. 12 “Then all the other countries would say that you’ve all been blessed, because your land would be prosperous,” says army-commander Yahweh.
3:11 This is literally the ‘eater’ which could refer to some kind of insect (and hence ‘it won’t destroy’ in the next clause) or it could refer to some spiritual power (then you’d get ‘he won’t destroy’).
Lev 27:30:
Num 18:21-24:
18:21 The part for of Levites
Deu 12:6:
6 That will also be where you’ll all have to take your animal sacrifices and offerings, as well as the tenth of your produce and animals, special contributions, sacrifices for promises, free-will sacrifices, and the firstborn animals from your herds and flocks.
14:22-29:
22 Make sure you set aside a tenth of all the crops that you harvest from your fields.[ref] 23 You must eat it in the presence of your god Yahweh, in the place that he’ll choose and attach his name to. That’s where you must eat the tenth of your grain, wine, olive oil, and the firstborn male animals from your herd and your flock, so that you’ll learn to always honour your god Yahweh. 24 When he blesses you with produce, if the place he chooses to attach his name to is too far for you to be able to carry it to, 25 then you can give the equivalent in cash, and carefully take the cash with you all the way to the place that he chooses. 26 When you get there, use the money to purchase any kinds of meat or drink that you want, and consume it there in front of your god Yahweh, and celebrate along with your household.
27 Be sure not to neglect any Levites that live in your town, because they weren’t given ancestral land for agriculture like you were. 28 At the end of every third year, bring the tenth of all your produce for that year and store it in your town 29 for the Levites (because they didn’t get land), and for any foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your towns. They can come and get what they need so that your god Yahweh can bless you in everything that you do.
Neh 13:12:
12 After that, the people of Yehudah started bringing a tenth of their grain and wine and oil to the storerooms.[ref]
