PAY יהוה (YAHWEH) AND YOURSELF AND DON'T TOUCH IT!
"Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith יהוה of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? Will a man rob יהוה? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith יהוה of host, if I will not open you the window of heaven, and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to received it" (Malachi 3:7-10).
