Adam Clarke
Honor the Lord with thy substance - The Minchah or gratitude-offering to God, commanded under the law, is of endless obligation. It would be well to give a portion of the produce of every article by which we get our support to God, or to the poor, the representatives of Christ. This might be done either in kind, or by the worth in money. Whatever God sends us in the way of secular prosperity, there is a portion of it always for the poor, and for God' s cause. When that portion is thus disposed of, the rest is sanctified; when it is withheld, God' s curse is upon the whole. Give to the poor, and God will give to thee.
