it took me a while but i get what you’re saying.
basically because there might be one person that for him $100 million is enough, which hashem obviously can’t handle, his account is only good for a few thousand. therefore the whole posuk in chumash and tanach was a printing error! hashem never promised wealth, because what’s wealth for you is not wealth for me. got it!
what else can we take out? shabbos is a little tough for me, can you take that out too?
basic translation, which EVERY rav agrees is what it means, agrees give masser and the reward is wealth! period!
you want to say wealth for you is 40k i respect that, but my question remains, what about the guy who wants more? and I’m not talking about 100 million (you like to go to the extreme to wash the basic question away) how about a guy who wants to pay all his bills and have money left over at the end of the month? is every guy giving masser getting that?
how about a better question give him a simple living, but where he doesn’t have to worry about getting fired, or losing his big customers??
bottom line if you’re happy with 40k a year that’s great i hope you get it, but don’t put words in hashems mouth, the posuk is as clear as day, and the question remains.
