1 | Shall we eat out tithe/offerings? | Deut 12:18 | Searcher56 | 177046 | ||
You need to read the CONTEXT of this passage. It DOESN'T mean all tithe/offerings ... you need to see all references of tithe/offerings. | ||||||
2 | Shall we eat out tithe/offerings? | Deut 12:18 | iktoose | 177047 | ||
I read Leviticus and Numbers regarding this. Deut 12:17-18 reads "You are not allowed to eat within your gates the tithe of your grain or new wine or oil, or the firstborn of your herd or flock, or any of your votive offerings which you vow, or your freewill offerings, or the contribution of your hand. 18 But you shall eat them before the LORD your God in the place which the LORD your God will choose, you and your son and daughter, and your male and female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all your undertakings." It may be possible that the tithe mentioned in Leviticus/Numbers is differnt from what is said in Deut 12:17-18. The tithe mentioned in Leviticus/Numbers is strictly for Levites as I understood. But Deut 12 says something different, not? Any insight?? iktoose |

Hello iktoose, Deuteronomy is a restatement and further clarification of Leviticus/Numbers. With that in mind, the tithe is the same throughout. Steve |

Hi Steve, I did some searching on the net and found the following; not sure its credential but it is pretty interesting reading (Part 1 of 2): The Tithe in Scripture CHAPTER 8: TALMUDIC TEACHING ON FIRST/SECOND TITHES The Talmud: Mishna and Gemara -- Divisions and translations of Mishna -- Book VII on first tithe, regulates what is to be tithed, and when -- Tithing applied to business transactions -- Tithing cooked fruit, transplanted vegetables, and anthills -- Rules concerning the second tithe -- Not to be exchanged, nor coins for it reckoned common -- Redemption of the second tithe -- Second tithe in relation to reciting Mosaic formula. FROM the Talmud we get not only fuller and more detailed ideas of tithe-paying during the period between the Old and New Testaments, but we learn also how this practice was affecting the daily life of a religious Jew when Christianity appeared. The Talmud contains the spoken or traditional law of the Jews, as distinguished from their law written. It is said by the Jews, that when God gave the written law on Mount Sinai, He delivered also to Moses, a number of precepts and explanations thereon, which were handed down by word of mouth to Joshua, to the seventy elders, to the men of the great synagogue, and so on to the great rabbis of a later period. Whatever of truth there may be in this tradition, it is well known that much activity was manifested in collecting precepts and decisions about the law, with comments thereon by the rabbis, in the days of the Maccabees, or, say, the second century before the Christian era, though it was not until the second century after Christ, that the rabbinical rules, interpretations, and decisions, some four thousand in number, were codified, and arranged according to subjects, as we have them now. The Talmud consists of a text called the Mishna, with comments called Gemara. The first division of the Mishna is on "Seeds," or matters relating to agriculture, of which the third, seventh, and eighth books respectively treat of doubtful matters connected with tithing; with the first or tithe proper, and with the second tithe. [The Mishna has been translated into Latin by Surenhusius, and into French by Schwab. Both are before me; but I shall attempt to translate, or in some cases to give the gist of, such sections only as are likely to serve our purpose in illustrating Jewish opinion and practice concerning tithe-paying.] You can view other related articles at: http://www.biblestudy.org/gands/tithebk/tithec8.html iktoose |

Hello iktoose, Yes, it's interesting. Much of it I already knew or suspected to be true. But this tactic also allows you to avoid facing the simplicity of the Scriptures. Steve |
