Shalom Irene, I believe the actual text where 10percent is first used is from Gen. 14:18-20. The tithe was originally given in livestock and harvestings, and it wasn't just "10 percent" once - there were actually 3 different tithes to be given/put aside (depending on the tithe). One of the tithes (of firstlings belonging to the Lord) is re-iterated at the end of Lev. 27:26-34. I've looked for the references but can't find them right now; but the 2nd tithe seems to be of the entire flock or harvest (for the upkeep of the Temple and support of the Levites), and the 3rd tithe was to be put back in one's own storehouse for the poor. (Can anyone help with these two? And if I'm wrong, please let me know.) Our God is a very caring God!! Cheri |
