2 Crônicas 31:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 31:5

And as soon as the commandment came abroad
Not only was published in the city of Jerusalem, but the report of it, or rather that itself, was spread throughout the cities of Judah:

the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn,
wine, and oil, and honey;
the three first of these are expressed in the law, ( Deuteronomy 18:4 ) but not honey; wherefore the Targum here, and the Jewish writers in general, interpret it of the "dubsa" of the palm tree, as they call it, the fruit and liquor of that, which is of a sweet taste, and which the Scenite Arabs called "dabusa", as Pliny F23 from Juba relates; for so it should be read, and not "dabulan" or "dablan", as in some copies: but though honey was forbid to be used in sacrifice, it was not forbidden to be eaten; and as the land of Judea abounded with honey, properly so called, the priests might have the firstfruits of that as of other liquors; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 8:8),

and of all the increase of the field;
of the trees of it, vines, fig trees, pomegranates as Kimchi;

and the tithe of all things;
even of herbs, as the same writer, and so the Talmud F24, which were free from tithes by the law, see ( Matthew 23:23 ) ,

brought they in abundantly;
even of all that their vineyards, oliveyards, and fields produced.

2 Crônicas 31:5 In-Context

3 A contribuição da fazenda do rei foi designada para os holocaustos: os holocaustos da manhã e da tarde, e os holocaustos dos sábados, das luas novas e das festas fixas, como está escrito na lei do Senhor.
4 Além disso ordenou ao povo que morava em Jerusalém que desse a porção pertencente aos sacerdotes e aos levitas, para que eles se dedicassem � lei do Senhor.
5 Logo que esta ordem se divulgou, os filhos de Israel trouxeram em abundância as primícias de trigo, mosto, azeite, mel e todo produto do campo; também trouxeram em abundância o dízimo de tudo.
6 Os filhos de Israel e de Judá que habitavam nas cidades de Judá também trouxeram o dízimo de bois e de ovelhas, e o dízimo das coisas dedicadas que foram consagradas ao Senhor seu Deus, e depositaram-nos em montões.
7 No terceiro mês começaram a formar os montões, e no sétimo mês acabaram.
