Giving a tenth

Mal 3:6–12

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. 7Ever 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?’ 8Can 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. 9You’re all cursed because you’re robbing me—the whole nation of you. 10Bring 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] 11I’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. 12Then 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’).
