Can a person rob God? You indeed are robbing me, but you say,‘ How are we robbing you?’ In tithes and contributions!You are bound for judgment because you are robbing me– this whole nation is guilty.“ Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse so that there may be food in my temple. Test me in this matter,” says the LORD who rules over all,“ to see if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until there is no room for it all.Then I will stop the plague from ruining your crops, and the vine will not lose its fruit before harvest,” says the LORD who rules over all.

“‘ If your brother becomes impoverished and is indebted to you, you must support him; he must live with you like a foreign resident.Do not take interest or profit from him, but you must fear your God and your brother must live with you.You must not lend him your money at interest and you must not sell him food for profit.I am the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan– to be your God.“‘ If your brother becomes impoverished with regard to you so that he sells himself to you, you must not subject him to slave service.

When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was used up, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said,“ Give us food! Why should we die before your very eyes because our money has run out?”Then Joseph said,“ If your money is gone, bring your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.”So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for their horses, the livestock of their flocks and herds, and their donkeys. He got them through that year by giving them food in exchange for livestock.When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him,“ We cannot hide from our lord that the money is used up and the livestock and the animals belong to our lord. Nothing remains before our lord except our bodies and our land.Why should we die before your very eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we, with our land, will become Pharaoh’s slaves. Give us seed that we may live and not die. Then the land will not become desolate.”So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. Each of the Egyptians sold his field, for the famine was severe. So the land became Pharaoh’s.Joseph made all the people slaves from one end of Egypt’s border to the other end of it.But he did not purchase the land of the priests because the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh and they ate from their allotment that Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land.Joseph said to the people,“ Since I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you. Cultivate the land.When you gather in the crop, give one-fifth of it to Pharaoh, and the rest will be yours for seed for the fields and for you to eat, including those in your households and your little children.”They replied,“ You have saved our lives! You are showing us favor, and we will be Pharaoh’s slaves.”

If a fellow Israelite from one of your villages in the land that the LORD your God is giving you should be poor, you must not harden your heart or be insensitive to his impoverished condition.
