Giving of Offerings

In Deuteronomy 12:6 [nIV], the
Bible says,

Bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special
gifts, what you have vowed to give and your freewill offerings,
and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.

In this Scripture, the Bible mentions six specific kinds of
offerings:-

• Burnt offerings
• Sacrifice
• Special gifts
• What you have vowed
• Freewill offerings
• First fruits

In other words, there is a very wide range of different kinds of
offerings that we can give to God.
