It was these that Jehovah prophetically invited: “‘ Bring all the tenth parts into the storehouse, that there may come to be food in my house; and test me out, please, in this respect, ’ Jehovah of armies has said, ‘ whether I shall not open to you people the floodgates of the heavens and actually empty out upon you a blessing until there is no more want. ’ ” ​ — Malachi 3: 10.
Nad olid need, keda Jehoova prohvetlikult kutsus: „Tooge kogu kümnis varaaita, et mu kojas oleks toidust, ja proovige mind ometi sellega, ütleb vägede Jehoova! Tõesti, ma avan teile taevaluugid ja kallan teile õnnistust küllastuseni! ” — Malakia 3: 10.
