人怎可抢夺上帝的东西呢？可是你们不但抢夺我的东西，还说，‘我们在何事上抢过你的东西呢？’“你们在十分之一的奉献和其他供物上抢夺我的东西。举国上下都是如此，所以你们必受咒诅。”万军之耶和华说：“你们要把当纳的十分之一全部送到我的仓库，使我的殿中有粮。你们这样试试，看我会不会为你们打开天上的窗户，把祝福倾倒给你们，直到无处可容。”万军之耶和华说：“我必为你们驱除害虫，不许它们毁坏你们地里的出产，你们田间的葡萄必不会未熟先落。”

“如果你们的同胞生活日益贫穷，难以维生，你们要像照顾外族人和寄居者一样照顾他的生活，让他住在你们当中。你们不可从中谋利，要敬畏上帝，让他住在你们当中。你们借钱给他，不可收取利息；借粮给他，不可谋利。我是你们的上帝耶和华。我曾经带领你们离开埃及，为要把迦南赐给你们，并做你们的上帝。“如果你们的同胞穷得把自己卖给你们，不可把他当作奴隶，

埃及人和迦南人的银子都用光了，埃及人就来见约瑟，对他说：“我们的钱财都用光了，求你给我们粮食，免得我们饿死在你面前。”约瑟说：“你们的钱财如果用尽了，可以用你们的牲畜来交换粮食。”于是，他们把牲畜赶到约瑟那里，用他们的牛、羊、驴和马跟约瑟换粮食。那一年，他们就依靠换来的粮食生活。到了第二年，他们又来见约瑟，对他说：“不瞒我主，我们的钱都用光了，牲畜也给你了，除了我们自己和田地以外，我们一无所有。求你不要让我们人死地荒。我们愿意用自己和我们的田地来换粮食，我们和我们的田地都归法老。求你给我们种子，我们好活下去，不致饿死，土地也不致荒废。”埃及人为饥荒所迫，纷纷卖掉自己的田地。约瑟替法老收购了埃及全国的田地，最后，所有的田地都归法老了。约瑟使埃及全境的人都成为法老的奴仆。约瑟唯独没有买祭司的田地，因为祭司吃法老的俸禄，有足够的供给，不用卖地。约瑟对百姓说：“我为法老买了你们和你们的土地，这里有种子，你们可以拿去耕种。但是你们要把收成的五分之一给法老，其余的，你们可以留下来作种子和全家人的口粮。”他们说：“你救了我们的命，求你恩待我们，让我们做法老的奴仆吧。”

“在进入你们的上帝耶和华将要赐给你们的土地后，如果你们居住的城中有贫穷的同胞，你们不可硬着心肠拒施援手。
