SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:25
entonces lo venderás, y atarás el dinero en tu mano, y vendrás al lugar que el SEÑOR tu Dios escogiere;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. Thou shalt then turn it into money , etc.] The tithe, which would be lighter and easier carriage: and bind up the money in thine hand ; put it into a bag or purse, and tie it up and carry it in the hand; which some think was ordered, that it might not be mixed with other money; but it seems only to have respect to journeying, and making it fit for that. The Jewish writers f158 , some of them, give a different sense of the word we render “bind up”, and interpret it of marking the silver, or impressing a form, figure, or image on it with the hand; they mean that it must be coined money; so Maimonides f159 , they may not profane the sacred tithe with money not coined, nor with money not current, nor with money which is not in a man’s power; for it is said, in thine hand ; which the man is possessed of and is his own property: and shalt go unto the place which the Lord that God shall choose ; carrying the money along with him, for which he sold the tithe.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-29 - A second portion from the produce of their land was required. The whol appointment evidently was against the covetousness, distrust, an selfishness of the human heart. It promoted friendliness, liberality and cheerfulness, and raised a fund for the relief of the poor. The were taught that their worldly portion was most comfortably enjoyed when shared with their brethren who were in want. If we thus serve God and do good with what we have, it is promised that the Lord our God will bless us in all the works of our land. The blessing of God is all to our outward prosperity; and without that blessing, the work of ou hands will bring nothing to pass. The blessing descends upon the working hand. Expect not that God should bless thee in thy idleness an love of ease. And it descends upon the giving hand. He who thu scatters, certainly increases; and to be free and generous in the support of religion, and any good work, is the surest and safest way of thriving __________________________________________________________________
