Bible Question (short): Is tithe 3.33 or ten percent? |
Question (full): 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? |
