Lexicon :: Strong's H8393 - tᵊḇû'â

“You shall sow your land six years and harvest its yield,

‘On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month (nearly October), when you have gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the LORD for seven days, with a Sabbath rest on the first day and a Sabbath rest on the eighth day.

“Every year you shall certainly tithe [a tenth] of all the yield of your seed which is produced by your field.

“At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce for that year, and shall store it up within your [city] gates.

“You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, or everything produced by the seed which you have sown and the yield of the vineyard will become defiled [and banned for use].

“When you have finished [fn]paying all the tithe of your produce the third year, [which is] the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within the gates of your cities and be satisfied.

With the precious fruits of the sun,

And with the precious produce of the months.

“Its abundant produce is for the kings

Whom You have set over us because of our sins;

They also rule over our bodies

And over our cattle as they please,

So we are in great distress.

“For it is a fire which consumes to Abaddon (destruction, ruin, final torment);

And [illicit passion] would burn and rage and uproot all my [life’s] increase [destroying everything].

And sow fields and plant vineyards,

And produce an abundant harvest.

Honor the LORD with your wealth

And with the first fruits of all your crops (income);

For wisdom’s profit is better than the profit of silver,

And her gain is better than fine gold.

“My fruit is better than gold, even pure gold,

And my yield is better than choicest silver.

The wages of the righteous [the upright, those in right standing with God] is [a worthwhile, meaningful] life,

The income of the wicked, punishment.

Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean,

But much revenue [because of good crops] comes by the strength of the ox.

Great and priceless treasure is in the house of the [consistently] righteous one [who seeks godly instruction and grows in wisdom],

But trouble is in the income of the wicked one [who rejects the laws of God].

Better is a little with righteousness

Than great income [gained] with injustice.

A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;

He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words.

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its gain. This too is vanity (emptiness).

And they were on great waters.

The grain of the [fn]Shihor, the harvest of the Nile River, was Tyre’s revenue;

And she was the market of nations.

Then He will give you rain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and bread [grain] from the produce of the ground, and it will be rich and plentiful. In that day your livestock will graze in large and roomy pastures.

“[fn]Israel was holy [something set apart from ordinary purposes, consecrated] to the LORD,

The first fruits of His harvest [in which no outsider was allowed to share].

All who ate of it [injuring Israel] became guilty;

Evil came on them,” says the LORD.’”

“They have planted wheat but have reaped thorns;

They have exhausted themselves but without profit.

So be ashamed of your harvest

Because of the fierce and raging anger of the LORD.”
