Scripture ... Gen 14:20, 28:22; Exo 23:16-19, Lev 27:20; Num 18:12-26; Deu 12:6-19, 14:22-29, 26:12-15; 2 Cor 9:7; Heb 7:6 ... God's day to you, This is a repost ... The tithe is gross, based on Firstfruits (Exo 23:16-19). There were three tithes While a "tithe" means 10 percent, there were three tithes given: 1) the general tithe paid to the Levites (Lev 27:20, Num 18:21), who in turn to the preists (vs 26). 2) the sacred meal tithe (Deu 12:6-7,17-19, 14:22-27) which was brought yearly to the tabernacle and eaten before the Lord. 3) The tri-annual tithe to the poor (Deu 14:28-29, 26:12-15) So that was 19 percent per year and 27 percent every three years, average 22 percent. Some more information on tithing, I had in my old post. Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek (Gen. 14:20; Heb. 7:6); and Jacob vowed unto the Lord to give a tenth (Gen. 28:22). These were given before the Law. In the NT, do not count all your seeds to make sure you give a tenth of all and neglect something greater - justice, mercy, and faith (Mat. 23:23). Does this passage say we should not tithe, or does it make a comparison? Some don't think we should have to pay even one tithe/tenth ... "Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Cor 9:7). Hopefully we give more than 10 percent. Searcher |
