Deuteronomy 15:14

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy winepress; as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him." — Deuteronomy 15:14 (ASV)

Thou shalt furnish him liberally - The verb in the Hebrew is remarkable. It means “you shall lay on his neck,” “adorn his neck with your gifts.”
