Subject: ten percent once every three years? |
Bible Note: The average OT tithe was 22 percent per year .... 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. |
