1. Keep vows made to God (1-29)

Whenever a person vows to dedicate himself or any of his property to the Lord, that vow is sacred and should be kept. A dedicated animal is offered as a burnt offering. Since God does not allow human sacrifice, a set redemption price must be paid for a person who is dedicated to the Lord. The person making the vow must redeem what he has vowed to give to God with the equivalent value in money. No one should make a careless vow to give something to God, for whatever is given to God is holy.

2. The tithe belongs to God (30-34)

Some things already belong to God: The firstborn already belongs to God, for he redeemed them from death in Egypt by the blood of the passover lamb. A tithe (one tenth) of everything belongs to the Lord. A person who does not give to God what belongs to him is sinning against God.

Application: Lord, help me to keep the promises which I have made before you. Help me to tithe faithfully, so that I may not be guilty of keeping what belongs to you.
One Word: Give to God what belongs to him
