The Key Word — כַּבֵּ֣ד, ka.Bedgenerated
The verb כַּבֵּד (kabad) is a Piel imperative, indicating an action directed toward God. It is built from a root meaning 'to be heavy,' which carries connotations of honor and weightiness. In this context, it calls for the reader to actively glorify God through their actions and offerings.
This command emphasizes that honoring God is not merely a passive acknowledgment but an active engagement, particularly through the giving of wealth and firstfruits. The Piel stem often intensifies the action, suggesting a deliberate and meaningful act of honoring.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your harvest.' Other translations, including the KJV and ASV, align closely with this wording, maintaining the emphasis on honoring God with one's possessions.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is כַּבֵּ֣ד, honor, which governs the entire clause. It is followed by two prepositional phrases: the first specifies the object of the honor, יְ֭הוָה (Yahweh), and the second details what should be given — מֵהוֹנֶ֑ךָ (from your wealth) and וּ֝מֵרֵאשִׁ֗ית (and from the firstfruits) of כָּל־ (all) תְּבוּאָתֶֽךָ (your harvest).
The structure emphasizes the act of honoring God as central, with the wealth and firstfruits serving as the means of that honor. The Hebrew word order places the verb first, highlighting the imperative nature of the command.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates the verb כַּבֵּד as τίμα (tima), which means 'to honor' or 'to value.' This choice reflects a direct correlation in meaning, emphasizing the importance of giving due respect and value to God.
The use of τίμα in the Septuagint aligns with the Hebrew intent, suggesting that the act of honoring God is both a recognition of His worth and a call to action.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
