Deuteronomy 16:17
"Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Every man shall give as he is able,.... The quantity to be given is not fixed in the law, but the wise men appointed it, as observed on Deu 16:16

but it is left by the Lord to the generosity of the people, only giving this general rule, that they should do according to their ability, and as the Lord had prospered them; see Co1 16:2 so Jarchi,"every man that hath many eatables and much goods shall bring many burnt offerings and many peace offerings.''
