Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
萬軍之耶和華說：你們要將當納的十分之一全然送入倉庫，使我家有糧，以此試試我，是否為你們敞開天上的窗戶，傾福與你們，甚至無處可容。

各人要隨本心所酌定的，不要作難，不要勉強，因為捐得樂意的人是神所喜愛的。
馬可福音 12:41
- 44
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.
They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything-all she had to live on."
耶穌對銀庫坐著，看眾人怎樣投錢入庫。有好些財主往裡投了若干的錢。
有一個窮寡婦來，往裡投了兩個小錢，就是一個大錢。
耶穌叫門徒來，說：「我實在告訴你們，這窮寡婦投入庫裡的，比眾人所投的更多。
因為，他們都是自己有餘，拿出來投在裡頭；但這寡婦是自己不足，把他一切養生的都投上了。」

馬太福音 6:1
- 4
"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
「你們要小心，不可將善事行在人的面前，故意叫他們看見，若是這樣，就不能得你們天父的賞賜了。
所以，你施捨的時候，不可在你前面吹號，像那假冒為善的人在會堂裡和街道上所行的，故意要得人的榮耀。我實在告訴你們，他們已經得了他們的賞賜。
你施捨的時候，不要叫左手知道右手所做的，
要叫你施捨的事行在暗中。你父在暗中察看，必然報答你（有古卷：必在明處報答你）。」
馬太福音 6:33

As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.
He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.
"Truly I tell you," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
耶穌抬頭觀看，見財主把捐項投在庫裡，
又見一個窮寡婦投了兩個小錢，

因為眾人都是自己有餘，拿出來投在捐項裡，但這寡婦是自己不足，把他一切養生的都投上了。」

Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it.
Every tithe of the herd and flock-every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd's rod-will be holy to the Lord.
No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.' "
These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.

這就是耶和華在西乃山為以色列人所吩咐摩西的命令。
哥林多後書 8:1
- 5
And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches.
In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.
For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own,
they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord's people.
And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.
弟兄們，我把神賜給馬其頓眾教會的恩告訴你們，
就是他們在患難中受大試煉的時候，仍有滿足的快樂，在極窮之間還格外顯出他們樂捐的厚恩。
我可以證明，他們是按著力量，而且也過了力量，自己甘心樂意的捐助，
再三的求我們，准他們在這供給聖徒的恩情上有分；
並且他們所做的，不但照我們所想望的，更照神的旨意先把自己獻給主，又歸附了我們。

and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth."

Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year.
Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always.
But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away),
then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose.
Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice.
And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year's produce and store it in your towns,
so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
「你要把你撒種所產的，就是你田地每年所出的，十分取一分；
又要把你的五穀、新酒、和油的十分之一，並牛群羊群中頭生的，吃在耶和華你神面前，就是他所選擇要立為他名的居所。這樣，你可以學習時常敬畏耶和華你的神。
當耶和華你神賜福與你的時候，耶和華你神所選擇要立為他名的地方若離你太遠，那路也太長，使你不能把這物帶到那裡去，
你就可以換成銀子，將銀子包起來，拿在手中，往耶和華你神所要選擇的地方去。
你用這銀子，隨心所欲，或買牛羊，或買清酒濃酒，凡你心所想的都可以買；你和你的家屬在耶和華你神的面前吃喝快樂。
「住在你城裡的利未人，你不可丟棄他，因為他在你們中間無分無業。
每逢三年的末一年，你要將本年的土產十分之一都取出來，積存在你的城中。
在你城裡無分無業的利未人，和你城裡寄居的，並孤兒寡婦，都可以來，吃得飽足。這樣，耶和華你的神必在你手裡所辦的一切事上賜福與你。」
哥林多前書 9:13

Don't you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar?
In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

But Samuel replied: "Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

歷代志下 2:4
Now I am about to build a temple for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense before him, for setting out the consecrated bread regularly, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths, at the New Moons and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.
我要為耶和華我神的名建造殿宇，分別為聖獻給他，在他面前焚燒美香，常擺陳設餅，每早晚、安息日、月朔，並耶和華我們神所定的節期獻燔祭。這是以色列人永遠的定例。

for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who is willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord today?"
金子做金器，銀子做銀器，並藉匠人的手製造一切。今日有誰樂意將自己獻給耶和華呢？」

Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High,
and he blessed Abram, saying, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand." Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
又有撒冷王麥基洗德帶著餅和酒出來迎接；他是至高神的祭司。
他為亞伯蘭祝福，說：「願天地的主、至高的神賜福與亞伯蘭！
至高的神把敵人交在你手裡，是應當稱頌的！」亞伯蘭就把所得的拿出十分之一來，給麥基洗德。
民數記 18:28
In this way you also will present an offering to the Lord from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites. From these tithes you must give the Lord's portion to Aaron the priest.
這樣，你們從以色列人中所得的十分之一也要作舉祭獻給耶和華，從這十分之一中，將所獻給耶和華的舉祭歸給祭司亞倫。
希伯來書 7:1
- 9
This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,
and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means "king of righteousness"; then also, "king of Salem" means "king of peace."
Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.
Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!
Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people-that is, from their fellow Israelites-even though they also are descended from Abraham.
This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater.
In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.
One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,
這麥基洗德就是撒冷王，又是至高神的祭司，本是長遠為祭司的。他當亞伯拉罕殺敗諸王回來的時候，就迎接他，給他祝福。
亞伯拉罕也將自己所得來的，取十分之一給他。他頭一個名繙出來就是仁義王，他又名撒冷王，就是平安王的意思。
他無父，無母，無族譜，無生之始，無命之終，乃是與神的兒子相似。
你們想一想，先祖亞伯拉罕將自己所擄來上等之物取十分之一給他，這人是何等尊貴呢！
那得祭司職任的利未子孫，領命照例向百姓取十分之一，這百姓是自己的弟兄，雖是從亞伯拉罕身（原文作腰）中生的，還是照例取十分之一；
獨有麥基洗德，不與他們同譜，倒收納亞伯拉罕的十分之一，為那蒙應許的亞伯拉罕祝福。
從來位分大的給位分小的祝福，這是駁不倒的理。
在這裡收十分之一的都是必死的人；但在那裡收十分之一的，有為他作見證的說，他是活的；
並且可說那受十分之一的利未，也是藉著亞伯拉罕納了十分之一。
