Malachi 3:10 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Bring ye — Make a punctual and full payment of all tithes; about this did Nehemiah contend with the rulers, and made them comply, and then all Judah obeyed and did the like, Nehemiah 13:10-13. To the store — house — This was one or more large rooms, built on purpose for this use. That there may be meat — For the priests and Levites to live upon. Prove me — Make the experiment. The windows of heaven — A kind of proverbial speech, to express great abundance. A blessing — First of rain to water the earth, next a blessing of corn, wine and oil, and all other products of the earth.

Malachi 3:10

10 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.
