Provérbios 3:9
Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

Study Note
The instruction to 'honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce' applies the agricultural offering of firstfruits (Exodus 23:19; Leviticus 23:10) as a principle for all economic life. The concept of firstfruits signals priority and consecration: the first and best portion belongs to God before the remainder is available for personal use, structuring economic life around divine ownership. The promise that follows (verse 10) — 'then your barns will be filled with plenty' — presents material blessing as a consequence of proper orientation, consistent with the Deuteronomic blessing framework while remaining within wisdom's observation of reliable moral-material connections. The verse is cited in 2 Corinthians 9 and Malachi 3:10 traditions as foundational for understanding generosity as the proper first response to divine provision.
