Ver. 10. So shall thy barns be filled.] The Jews at this day, though not in their own country, nor have a Levitical priesthood, yet those who will be reputed religious among them do distribute the tenth of their increase unto the poor, being persuaded that God doth bless their increase the more; for their usual proverb is, Decima, ut dives fias. {a} Pay thy tithes, that thou mayest be rich. {See Trapp on "Mat 5:7"}

So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,.... With plenty of corn; so that there will be a sufficient provision of bread for the eater for the ensuing year, and of seed for the sower when the time of sowing returns; so far should they be, it suggests, from being losers by honouring the Lord with their substance, that they should be gainers by it; instead of having less, should have abundantly more;
and thy presses shall burst out with new wine; not that they should really burst (q) for then the wine would be spilled, which would be a loss; but that they should be so full, that they should be ready to burst or run over: and so the Targum, and the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, render it, "and thy presses shall overflow with new wine". As the former clause denotes plenty of eatables, so this of drinkables; and both fulness of all sorts of provisions, promised to the liberal man; and may be an emblem of the large provisions of grace and glory, which the Lord has made for and bestows upon such that honour him.

10. presses shall burst out] Rather, fats shall overflow, R.V. “The wine-press of the Jews consisted of two receptacles or vats placed at different elevations, in the upper one of which the grapes were trodden, while the lower one received the expressed juice. The two vats are mentioned together only in Joe_3:13, ‘The press (gath) is full, the vats (yekebim) overflow,’ the upper vat being full of fruit, the lower one overflowing with the must. Yekeb is similarly applied in Joe_2:24, and probably in Pro_3:10, where the verb rendered burst out in the A.V. may bear the more general sense of abound.” Smith’s Dict. of Bible, Art. Wine-press.
