Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that {there shall} not {be room} enough {to receive it}. {pour...: Heb. empty out}

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. {with: Heb. of}

Blessed {shalt} thou {be} in the city, and blessed {shalt} thou {be} in the field.

Who knoweth {if} he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; {even} a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
