Leviticus 27:2-13 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall make a singular vow… I met some time ago a gentleman residing in a retired town in Kent, who told that he was recently confined to his house by indisposition and inclement weather on a wintry Sunday. When the rest of the family were at church he took up George Muller's book, in which he describes "The Lord's Dealings" with him. He became so much interested in the author's life and labours that he promised his conscience, then and there, that if a certain business transaction he had in hand resulted in a certain amount of success, he would send the philanthropist £100 for his Orphans' Home. The success was realised, and he was then just on the point of sending off a cheque for the promised amount. (Elihu Burritt.) Parallel Verses KJV: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation. |
