While all Israelites were dedicated to Jehovah by reason of birth, those who made their dedication meaningful by making voluntary offerings ‘ gained approval for themselves ’ and were richly blessed. ​ — Malachi 3: 10.
Mozus 22: 29.) Lai gan visi izraēlieši piederēja Jehovam jau kopš dzimšanas, Jehovas svētības un atzinību saņēma tikai tie, kas ar brīvprātīgiem upuriem pierādīja, ka patiešām vēlas viņam kalpot. ( Maleahija 3: 10.)
