Verse Takeaways

Commentators explain that this law established a vital principle: honoring God before partaking of His blessings. By offering the very first part of the harvest before anyone could eat from it, the Israelites acknowledged God as the ultimate provider. This teaches Christians to put God first in all things—every day, every project, and every meal—seeking His kingdom before all else.
