3740. 'And of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth' means that by His own Divine power He made every single thing Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving' when used in reference to the Lord as the fact that He gave to Himself, dealt with in 3705 (end), and so by His own power; and from the meaning of 'giving a tenth' and of 'tenths' as goods and truths which are stored away by the Lord in a person within the interior parts of him, which goods are called remnants, dealt with in 576, 1738, 2280. With reference to the Lord, Divine Goods and Divine Truths are meant, which the Lord acquired to Himself by His own power, see 1738, 1906.
