3740. And all that Thou shalt give me, tithing I will tithe it to Thee. That this signifies that He made all things Divine in general and in particular by His own power, is evident from the signification of “giving,” when predicated of the Lord, as being that He gave to Himself (see n. 3705), thus that it was by His own power; and from the signification of “tithing,” and of “tithes,” as being the goods and truths which are stored up by the Lord in man’s interiors, and which goods are called “remains” (n. 576, 1738, 2280). When these are predicated of the Lord they are the Divine goods and Divine truths which the Lord procured to Himself by His own power (n. 1738, 1906).
