Proverbs 3:10

So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Ver. 10. So shall thy barns be filled.] The Jews at this day, though not in their own country, nor have a Levitical priesthood, yet those who will be reputed religious among them do distribute the tenth of their increase unto the poor, being persuaded that God doth bless their increase the more; for their usual proverb is, Decima, ut dives fias. a Pay thy tithes, that thou mayest be rich. See Trapp on " Mat 5:7 "

a Godwyn's Heb. Antiq. 277. Thegnaler hischilshe thegnasher.
