The concept of offerings is deeply rooted in the sacrificial system established in the Mosaic Law, where offerings were a means of worship and atonement. This reflects the broader biblical theme of giving God what is due to Him, as seen in <a href="/malachi/3-10.htm">Malachi 3:10</a>, where God challenges His people to bring the full tithe into the storehouse.<p><b>from all the best of every gift</b><br>The requirement to give the best underscores the importance of offering God the first and finest of one's produce or possessions, reflecting a heart of gratitude and reverence. This principle is mirrored in the story of Cain and Abel (<a href="/genesis/4-3.htm">Genesis 4:3-5</a>), where Abel's offering was accepted because it was from the firstborn of his flock, indicating quality and priority. The idea of giving the best is also a precursor to the New Testament teaching of offering our bodies as living sacrifices (<a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>).<p><b>the holiest part of it.</b><br>This phrase indicates that the offering is not just any portion but the most sacred part, set apart for God. In the context of the Levitical priesthood, the holiest part of the offerings was reserved for the priests, symbolizing their role as mediators between God and the people. This concept of holiness and separation is a recurring theme in Scripture, pointing to the ultimate holiness of Jesus Christ, who is the perfect and final High Priest (<a href="/hebrews/7-26.htm">Hebrews 7:26-28</a>). The emphasis on holiness also calls believers to live lives set apart for God, as seen in <a href="/1_peter/1-15.htm">1 Peter 1:15-16</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were given specific instructions on how to live and worship.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_levites.htm">The Levites</a></b><br>A tribe set apart for religious duties, including the care of the tabernacle and later the temple.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_offerings.htm">The Offerings</a></b><br>Gifts and sacrifices brought by the Israelites to God, which included tithes and other contributions.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who established the laws and commandments for His people.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable dwelling place for the divine presence during the Israelites' journey in the wilderness.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_principle_of_giving_the_best.htm">The Principle of Giving the Best</a></b><br>God deserves the best of what we have, not the leftovers.
