VERSES FOR OFFERINGS
Think about giving – it's truly beautiful in God's eyes. When you're preparing your offering, remember it should be your best, given with a sincere heart. It should be a joyful act, knowing how much God has already blessed us with, even when we don't deserve it. He's been incredibly generous, hasn't He?
If you only give what's leftover, well, life might just mirror that back to you. Think about it – give as if you're giving to yourself. Don't do it out of obligation or because you expect something in return. True giving comes from the heart.
Don't make a big show of it either. It's not about getting praised or patted on the back. Let your giving be a quiet act between you and God. He sees what's in your heart, and He loves a cheerful giver. Remember what it says in 2 Corinthians 9:7: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
Giving is an act of worship, a way to give back a portion of what God has already given us. And when God gives, He gives abundantly. When you offer from the heart, you're opening the door for even more blessings. The more you give, the more you receive. It's a beautiful cycle.
“I shall set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.“And it shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud,and I shall remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living being of all flesh, and never again let the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh.

And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.“And no longer shall they teach, each one his neighbour, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know יהוה,’ for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares יהוה. “For I shall forgive their crookedness, and remember their sin no more.”

Why did you not inform me that she was your wife?“Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’? And so I was going to take her for my wife. Look, here is your wife, take her and go.”“And I shall make you a great nation, and bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing!And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him, and they sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.“And I shall bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you. And in you all the clans of the earth shall be blessed.”
And it came to be when Aḇram was ninety-nine years old, that יהוה appeared to Aḇram and said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai – walk before Me and be perfect.“This is My covenant which you guard between Me and you, and your seed after you: Every male child among you is to be circumcised.“And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall become a sign of the covenant between Me and you.“And a son of eight days is circumcised by you, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with silver from any foreigner who is not of your seed.“He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your silver, has to be circumcised. So shall My covenant be in your flesh, for an everlasting covenant.“And an uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, his life shall be cut off from his people – he has broken My covenant.”And Elohim said to Aḇraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name.“And I shall bless her and also give you a son by her. And I shall bless her, and she shall become nations – sovereigns of peoples are to be from her.”And Aḇraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Is a child born to a man who is a hundred years old? Or is Sarah, who is ninety years old, to bear a child?”And Aḇraham said to Elohim, “Oh, let Yishma‛ĕl live before You!”“And Elohim said, “No, Sarah your wife is truly bearing a son to you, and you shall call his name Yitsḥaq. And I shall establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.“And I give My covenant between Me and you, and shall greatly increase you.
and said, “By Myself I have sworn, declares יהוה, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son,that I shall certainly bless you, and I shall certainly increase your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore, and let your seed possess the gate of their enemies.And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.“And it came to be, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders,and said, ‘See, יהוה our Elohim has shown us His esteem and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. Today we have seen that Elohim speaks with man – and he lives!And now why should we die? For this great fire is consuming us. If we hear the voice of יהוה our Elohim any more, then we shall die.For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living Elohim speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and does live?You go near and hear all that יהוה our Elohim says, and speak to us all that יהוה our Elohim says to you, and we shall hear and do it.’“And יהוה heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and יהוה said to me, ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.Oh, that they had such a heart in them, to fear Me and to guard all My commands always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever!“יהוה did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive.

Brothers, as a man I say it: a covenant, even though it is man’s, yet if it is confirmed, no one sets it aside, or adds to it.But the promises were spoken to Aḇraham, and to his Seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Messiah.
And if you are of Messiah, then you are seed of Aḇraham, and heirs according to promise.
But the loving-commitment of יהוה Is from everlasting to everlasting Upon those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children,
For thus said יהוה, “To the eunuchs who guard My Sabbaths, and have chosen what pleases Me, and are holding onto My covenant:to them I shall give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters – I give them an everlasting name that is not cut off.

And He said, “See, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I am going to do wonders such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of יהוה. For what I am doing with you is awesome.
“Guard yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of יהוה your Elohim which He made with you, and shall make for yourselves a carved image in any form, as יהוה your Elohim has commanded you.“For יהוה your Elohim is a consuming fire, a jealous Ěl.
And it shall be, because you hear these right-rulings, and shall guard and do them, that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the loving-commitment which He swore to your fathers,”and shall love you and bless you and increase you, and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you.

I say then, has Elohim rejected His people? Let it not be! For I also am of Yisra’ĕl, of the seed of Aḇraham, of the tribe of Binyamin.let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and bow down their back always.”I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Let it not be! But by their fall deliverance has come to the nations, to provoke them to jealousy.And if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the nations, how much more their completeness!For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as I am an emissary to the nations, I esteem my service,if somehow I might provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.For if their casting away is the restoration to favour of the world, what is their acceptance but life from the dead?Now if the first-fruit is set-apart, the lump is also. And if the root is set-apart, so are the branches.And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, have been grafted in among them, and came to share the root and fatness of the olive tree,do not boast against the branches. And if you boast, remember: you do not bear the root, but the root bears you!You shall say then, “The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.”Elohim has not rejected His people whom He knew beforehand. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Ěliyahu, how he pleads with Elohim against Yisra’ĕl, saying,
The book of the genealogy of יהושע Messiah, Son of Dawiḏ, Son of Aḇraham:And Ḥizqiyahu brought forth Menashsheh, and Menashsheh brought forth Amon, and Amon brought forth Yoshiyahu.And Yoshiyahu brought forth Yeḵonyah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Baḇel.And after the exile to Baḇel, Yeḵonyah brought forth She’alti’ĕl, and She’alti’ĕl brought forth Zerubbaḇel.And Zerubbaḇel brought forth Aḇihuḏ, and Aḇihuḏ brought forth [Aḇner and Aḇner brought forth] Elyaqim, and Elyaqim brought forth Azor.And Azor brought forth Tsaḏoq, and Tsaḏoq brought forth Aqim, and Aqim brought forth Elihuḏ.And Elihuḏ brought forth El‛azar, and El‛azar brought forth Mattan, and Mattan brought forth Ya‛aqoḇ.And Ya‛aqoḇ brought forth Yosĕph the husband of Miryam, of whom was born יהושע who is called Messiah.So all the generations from Aḇraham to Dawiḏ were fourteen generations, and from Dawiḏ until the exile to Baḇel were fourteen generations, and from the exile to Baḇel until the Messiah were fourteen generations.
to show compassion toward our fathers and to remember His set-apart covenant,an oath which He swore to our father Aḇraham:
“You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which Elohim made with our fathers, saying to Aḇraham, ‘And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.’
who are the children of Yisra’ĕl, to whom is the adoption, and the esteem, and the covenants, and the giving of the Torah, and the worship, and the promises,whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Messiah according to the flesh, who is over all, Elohim-blessed forever. Amĕn.
For as many promises as are of Elohim, in Him they are Yes, and in Him Amĕn, to the esteem of Elohim through us.
For as many as are of works of Torah are under the curse, for it has been written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all that has been written in the Book of the Torah, to do them.”And that no one is declared right by Torah before Elohim is clear, for “The righteous shall live by belief.”And the Torah is not of belief, but “The man who does them shall live by them.”Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the Torah, having become a curse for us – for it has been written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs upon a tree.” –in order that the blessing of Aḇraham might come upon the nations in Messiah יהושע, to receive the promise of the Spirit through belief.

“And יהוה has caused you to proclaim today to be His people, a treasured possession, as He has spoken to you, and to guard all His commands,
Declaring His Word to Ya‛aqoḇ, His laws and His right-rulings to Yisra’ĕl.יהוה builds up Yerushalayim, He gathers the outcasts of Yisra’ĕl –He has not done so with any nation; And they have not known His right-rulings! Praise Yah!
And see, יהוה stood above it and said, “I am יהוה Elohim of Aḇraham your father and the Elohim of Yitsḥaq. The land on which you are lying, I give it to you and your seed.“And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall break forth to the west and to the east, to the north and the south. And all the clans of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your seed.“And see, I am with you and shall guard you wherever you go, and shall bring you back to this land. For I am not going to leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”

Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed,and shall turn back to יהוה your Elohim and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and your children,“to love יהוה your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the length of your days – to dwell in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Ya‛aqoḇ, to give them.

For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, as many as יהוה our Elohim shall call.
Because there is no distinction between Yehuḏi and Greek, for the same Master of all is rich to all those calling upon Him.For “everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.”
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a set-apart nation, a people for a possession, that you should proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light,

Maker of the heavens and earth, The sea and all that is in them, Who is guarding truth forever,
Therefore I give Him a portion among the great, and He divides the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His being unto death, and He was counted with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
“Thus said יהוה, ‘If you could break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there be not day and night in their season,then My covenant could also be broken with Dawiḏ My servant – so that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne – and with the Lĕwites, the priests, My attendants.
“And I shall give them one heart, and put a new spirit within you. And I shall take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,
On account of this it is of belief, that it be according to favour, for the promise to be made certain to all the seed, not only to those who are of the Torah, but also to those who are of the belief of Aḇraham, who is father of us all –
Brothers, as a man I say it: a covenant, even though it is man’s, yet if it is confirmed, no one sets it aside, or adds to it.
But when the completion of the time came, Elohim sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under Torah,to redeem those who were under Torah, in order to receive the adoption as sons.
Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete.

“If his sons forsake My Torah And do not walk in My right-rulings,If they profane My laws And do not guard My commands,”“Then I shall visit their transgression with the rod, And their crookedness with flogging.
Zayin Remember, O יהוה, Your compassion and Your loving-commitments, For they are from everlasting.Ḥet Do not remember the sins of my youth, and my transgressions; According to Your loving-commitment remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O יהוה.
And so all Yisra’ĕl shall be saved, as it has been written, “The Deliverer shall come out of Tsiyon, and He shall turn away wickedness from Ya‛aqoḇ,and this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”

knowing that you were redeemed from your futile behaviour inherited from your fathers, not with what is corruptible, silver or gold,but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless,
Pĕ He sent redemption to His people, Tsadi He has commanded His covenant forever. Qoph Set-apart and awesome is His Name.
But יהוה was pleased to crush Him, He laid sickness on Him, that when He made Himself an offering for guilt, He would see a seed, He would prolong His days and the pleasure of יהוה prosper in His hand.He would see the result of the suffering of His life and be satisfied. Through His knowledge My righteous Servant makes many righteous, and He bears their crookednesses.
But go and learn what this means, ‘I desire compassion and not offering.’ For I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.
Let all the ends of the earth Remember and turn to יהוה, And all clans of the nations Bow themselves before You.
Therefore, having been declared right by belief, we have peace with Elohim through our Master יהושע Messiah,For if, being enemies, we were restored to favour with Elohim through the death of His Son, much more, having been restored to favour, we shall be saved by His life.And not only this, but we also exult in Elohim through our Master יהושע Messiah, through whom we have now received the restoration to favour.For this reason, even as through one man sin did enter into the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned –for until the Torah, sin was in the world, but sin is not reckoned when there is no Torah.But death reigned from Aḏam until Mosheh, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Aḏam, who is a type of Him who was to come.But the favourable gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass many died, much more the favour of Elohim, and the gift in favour of the one Man, יהושע Messiah, overflowed to many.And the favourable gift is not as by one having sinned. For indeed the judgment was of one to condemnation, but the favourable gift is of many trespasses unto righteousness.For if by the trespass of the one, death did reign through the one, much more those who receive the overflowing favour and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life through the One, יהושע Messiah.So then, as through one trespass there resulted condemnation to all men, so also through one righteous act there resulted righteous-declaring of life to all men.For as through the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One many shall be made righteous.through whom also we have access by belief into this favour in which we stand, and we exult in the expectation of the esteem of Elohim.
He has remembered His covenant forever, The Word He commanded, for a thousand generations,
But You, O יהוה, Are a compassionate Ěl and showing favour, Patient and great in loving-commitment and truth.
Let not loving-commitment and truth forsake you – Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart,Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no evil.Do not envy a cruel man, And choose none of his ways;For the perverse one is an abomination to יהוה, And His secret counsel is with the straight.The curse of יהוה is on the house of the wrong, But He blesses the home of the righteous.He certainly scoffs the scoffers, But gives favour to the humble.The wise do inherit esteem, But fools are bearing away shame!Thus finding favour and good insight In the eyes of Elohim and man.
Thus said יהוה, “In a favourable time I shall answer You, and in the day of deliverance I shall help You – and I guard You and give You for a covenant of the people, to restore the earth, to cause them to inherit the ruined inheritances,to say to the prisoners, ‘Go out,’ to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ Let them feed on the ways, and let their pasture be on all bare hills.
“And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be My people, and I shall be your Elohim.
For יהוה is good; His loving-commitment is everlasting, And His truth, to all generations.
And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not grow weary.
Zayin He has made His wonders to be remembered; Ḥet יהוה shows favour and is compassionate.
For I pour water on the thirsty, and floods on the dry ground. I pour My Spirit on your seed, and My blessing on your offspring,
For His displeasure is for a moment, His delight is for life; Weeping might last for the night, But joy comes in the morning.
“Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you.“For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.
For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Messiah, for it is the power of Elohim for deliverance to everyone who believes, to the Yehuḏi first and also to the Greek.For in it the righteousness of Elohim is revealed from belief to belief, as it has been written, “But the righteous shall live by belief.”
For thus declares the high and exalted One who dwells forever, whose Name is set-apart, “I dwell in the high and set-apart place, with him who has a bruised and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of bruised ones.
But seek first the reign of Elohim, and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.
And the Elohim of peace who brought up our Master יהושע from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,make you perfect in every good work to do His desire, working in you what is pleasing in His sight, through יהושע Messiah, to whom be esteem forever and ever. Amĕn.
That I might delight myself in Your commands, Which I have loved;That I might lift up my hands to Your commands, Which I have loved; While I meditate on Your laws.
I bow myself toward Your set-apart Hĕḵal, And give thanks to Your Name For Your loving-commitment and for Your truth; For You have made great Your Word, Your Name, above all.
Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not look around, for I am your Elohim. I shall fortify you, I shall also help you, I shall also uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.’

יהוה does perfect for me. O יהוה, Your loving-commitment is everlasting. Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
Bless יהוה, O my being! O יהוה my Elohim, You have been very great: You have put on excellency and splendour,Who is sending the springs into the valleys, They flow among the hills.They give drink to every beast of the field; Wild donkeys break their thirst.The birds of the heavens dwell beside them; They sing from between the branches.Watering the hills from His upper rooms; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.Causing the grass to grow for the cattle, And plants for the service of mankind, To bring forth food from the earth,And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make the face shine, And bread which sustains man’s heart.The trees of יהוה are satisfied, The cedars of Leḇanon which He planted,Where the birds do make nests; The stork has her home in the fir trees.The high hills are for wild goats; Rocks a refuge for rock badgers.He made the moon for appointed times; The sun knows its going down.Covering Yourself with light as with a garment, Stretching out the heavens like a curtain,You put darkness, and it is night, In it all the beasts of the forest creep.The young lions are roaring for prey, And seeking their food from Ěl.The sun arises – they withdraw And lie down in their dens.Man goes out to his work, And to his labour, till evening.O יהוה, how many have been Your works! You have made all of them in wisdom. The earth is filled with Your possessions.There is the sea, great and wide, In which are innumerable swarms, Living creatures, small with great.There do ships go; That Liwiathan which You made, to play there.All of them wait for You, To give their food in due season.You give to them, they gather in; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.You hide Your face, they are alarmed; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust;Who is laying the beams of His upper rooms in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on the wings of the wind,You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the earth.The esteem of יהוה is forever, יהוה rejoices in His works,Who looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.I sing to יהוה as long as I live, I sing praise to my Elohim while I exist.My meditation on Him is sweet; I rejoice in יהוה.Let sinners be consumed from the earth, And let the wrong be no more. Bless יהוה, O my being! Praise Yah!Making His messengers the winds, His servants a flame of fire.He established the earth on its foundations, So that it would not totter forever,
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustworthiness,gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no Torah.
