This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

18. καθελῶ. In Attic the future of αἰρέω is αἱρήσω. The fut. ἑλῶ is late.

ἀποθήκας. ‘Storehouses’ (not only for corn). He never thought of the admonition of the Son of Sirach, “Shut up alms in thy storehouses,” Sir 29:12.

τὰ γενήματά μου. Not the same word as before. Rather, ‘my produce.’

τὰ ἀγαθά μου. Such ‘good things’ as he was alone capable of recognising, Luk 16:25. And “all my goods,” with no mention of the poor.
