1 | do we eat our own tithe 2 years of 3? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142550 | ||
I have read the verses. Is Lev 27:20 right? Num 18:21 spoke of the tithe, but did not say how often it was give. the tri-annual titheis ten percent, but only once every three years. It seems to be a sacred meal that you do not eat. The other years, you yourself and possibly levites and aliens eat it together. I am confused on the 19 and 27 percents. It looks like one tithe mentioned several different ways, and only once every three years is it the year of the tithe, to be given totally away. Is it? This is a wonderfully complete response and I thank you for the time spent. greentwiga |

2 | ten percent once every three years? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142537 | ||
You are right, it is ten percent of the increase. In The Deut 14:22 verse you quoted it says in 2 years out of three, the person who offered the tithe ate it. Only one year out of three did thay give it away. Then they gave it to the poor, widows, aliens, and some to the levites. Am I reading that right? Is there some other verse that says we are to give ten percent each year and all of it to the church or religious authorities? | ||||||
3 | Is tithe 3.33 or ten percent? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142528 | ||
I was reading on tithing in the Old testament and was puzzled. It seemed that only once every three years did the tithes get given away. The other two years, it was eaten by the tithers. Furthermore, the tithe of that year was to be split among the "church" (the Levites), the aliens, fatherless and widows. That works out to be a 3.33 percent tithe per year. Deut 14:22-28. This 3.33 percent tithe goes along with Numbers 31:30 where a 2 percent tithe of the spoils of war. Is there another passage on tithing that states ten percent each year? | ||||||
