When God says, bring all the tithes into the storehouse, it should be understood that He is talking crops, herds and flocks.
If the priests brought the whole tithe into the storehouse as God requested,
there would have been enough food in his house.
The food was for the Levites who were on temple duty.
Malachi 3:10-15 NKJV
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts,
“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
“And I will rebuke
the devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy
the fruit of your ground,
Nor shall the vine fail
to bear fruit for you in the field,”
Says the LORD of hosts;
“And all nations will call you blessed,
For you will be a delightful land,”
Says the LORD of hosts.
“Your words have been harsh against Me,”
Says the LORD,
“Yet you say,
‘What have we spoken against You?’
You have said,
‘It is useless to serve God;
What profit is it that
we have kept His ordinance,
And that we have walked
as mourners Before the LORD of hosts?
So now we call the proud blessed,
For those who do wickedness are raised up;
They even tempt God and go free.’ ”
