I’ve pointed this out on FR several years ago.
The priests had no land so they had to live on the offerings the people gave them. This was the tithe and it was not given every year.
The Christian today is to give “as God has prospered”.
“Not grudgingly but cheerful”, BUT “one who ignores his own family is worse than a thief and an infidel.”
“one who ignores his own family”
But the crucial issue here is what does it mean to “ignore”? I would say that letting them literally starve of malnutrition would be “ignoring”. But not letting them have an expensive college education or a quality car as teenagers is not “ignoring” by any stretch.
