“But if he cannot afford an animal from the flock, then he may bring to the Lord two turtledoves or two young pigeons as restitution for his sin—one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.

According

Everyone must appear with a gift suited to his means, according to the blessing the Lord your God has given you.

and leave a blessing behind Him,
so you can offer grain and wine
to the Lord your God.

“Now, reflect back from this day: Before one stone was placed on another in the Lord’s temple,

Bring the full tenth into the storehouse so that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this way,” says the Lord of Hosts. “See if I will not open the floodgates of heaven and pour out a blessing for you without measure.

On the first day of the week,

each of you is to set something aside and save in keeping with how he prospers, so that no collections will need to be made when I come.

Now I am giving an opinion on this because it is profitable for you, who a year ago began not only to do something but also to desire it.

Therefore I considered it necessary to urge the brothers to go on ahead to you and arrange in advance the generous gift you promised, so that it will be ready as a gift and not as an extortion.
