Bible Question: did God tell us to tithe? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Lev 27:20; Num 18:12-23, 21, 26; Deu 14:22-27, 28-29; 2 Cor 9:7 If you enter tithe under Quick Search, you'll see many posts on tithe. We need to give to the Lord first (Num 18:12-13). It is like taxes; the gov't gets their cut first, or second in our case. But, He never stops loving us ... if we don't give, it shows we don't love Him. Love is doing something for another, without thought of anything in return It is gross, based on Firstfruits (Exo 23:16-19). Levitcus 27:20 tells us to tithe everything There were three OT tithes 1) The general tithe paid to the Levites (Num 18:21), who even tithed to the preists (vs 26). 2) The sacred meal tithe, eaten before the Lord (Deu 12:6,7,17-19; 14:22-27) 3) The tri-annual tithe to the poor (Deu 14:28-29, 26:12-15) So that was 19 percent per year for two years and 27 percent every three years, average 22 percent. |
