Title Titles and Offerings
Contents
As a concrete example of the Israelites' departure from God's ordinances, it points out that they committed the sin of stealing God's things by receiving God's tites and offerings, and that disaster came as a result. It is said that full tites and offerings are urged, and blessings will come when they are implemented. Tithing and offerings were not only a religious duty to thank God for blessings, but also a social duty for the Levites and the poorest class who did not receive an inheritance (Deuteronomy 14:22-29). obey
