This Praxilla in her Hymns tells of Adonis being asked by Those Below what was best of the things he had left behind when he died. He replied thus: "The best thing I left was the light of the sun; second, the shining stars and the moon's orb; and then the cucumbers and apples and pears in season."

Zenobios, Proverbs 4.21; my translation

αὕτη ἡ Πράξιλλα τὸν Ἄδωνιν ἐν τοῖς Ὕμνοις εἰσάγει ἐρωτώμενον ὑπὸ τῶν κάτω τί κάλλιστον καταλιπὼν ἐλήλυθεν, ἐκεῖνον δὲ λέγοντα οὕτως·

κάλλιστον μὲν ἐγὼ λείπω φάος ἠελίοιο, δεύτερον ἄστρα φαεινὰ σεληναίης τε πρόσυπον ἠδὲ καὶ ὡραίους σικύους καὶ μῆλα καὶ ὄγχνας.

Proverbs 3:9 Seems they have always been asking us for our valuable things, money, time, effort. For further reference : Leviticus 22:21-23 Deuteronomy 16:10 Numbers 31:50 Deuteronomy 16:16 I am aware some of these say voluntary. Do you believe it truly was voluntary or out of fear of death if they did not give the best of their things to god first before providing for their family? The sacrifices were required at the time for forgiveness for sins.

‎A Chinese proverb says an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangled, but never be broken.
