Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Malachi 3:7-12.


Malachi 3:10

_ _ (Proverbs 3:9, Proverbs 3:10).

_ _ storehouse — (2 Chronicles 31:11, Margin; compare 1 Chronicles 26:20; Nehemiah 10:38; Nehemiah 13:5, Nehemiah 13:12).

_ _ prove me ... herewith — with this; by doing so. Test Me whether I will keep My promise of blessing you, on condition of your doing your part (2 Chronicles 31:10).

_ _ pour ... out — literally, “empty out”: image from a vessel completely emptied of its contents: no blessing being kept back.

_ _ windows of heaven — (2 Kings 2:7).

_ _ that ... not ... room enough, etc. — literally, “even to not ... sufficiency,” that is, either, as English Version. Or, even so as that there should be “not merely” “sufficiency” but superabundance [Jerome, Maurer]. Gesenius not so well translates, “Even to a failure of sufficiency,” which in the case of God could never arise, and therefore means for ever, perpetually: so Psalms 72:5, “as long as the sun and moon endure”; literally, “until a failure of the sun and moon,” which is never to be; and therefore means, for ever.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Malachi 3:10

Bring ye — Make a punctual and full payment of all tithes; about this did Nehemiah contend with the rulers, and made them comply, and then all Judah obeyed and did the like, Nehemiah 13:10-13. To the store — house — This was one or more large rooms, built on purpose for this use. That there may be meat — For the priests and Levites to live upon. Prove me — Make the experiment. The windows of heaven — A kind of proverbial speech, to express great abundance. A blessing — First of rain to water the earth, next a blessing of corn, wine and oil, and all other products of the earth.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Malachi 3:10

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, (k) that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].

(k) Not having respect how much you need, but I will give you in all abundance, so that you will lack place to put my blessings in.
