Reading for April 11th

 Read Malachi 3.6-12. In 3.6-12: Judah's miserliness. Just as Judah's priests are not fulfilling their obligations for proper worship at the Temple (1.6-2.3), so Judah's people are not fulfilling their tithes. They are not bringing to the Temple the full tithes (v. 10) of their produce required by Israelite law (Lev 27.30-33;  Deut 14.22-29). In verse 10: The connection between proper worship and divine blessing in Malachi's message mirrors Haggai's thought (Hag 1.9-10). Comments or Questions...
