Bible Question: I know titheing is 10percent of your income. But what is the firstfruits of your income and how much would that be. If you give your tithes which is 10percent of your income, before taxes and that is the first thing we do. so then what will the firstfruits be? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Num 18:21, 26; Deu 14:22-29 ... There were three tithes in the OT: 1) the general tithe paid to the Levites (Num 18:21), who even tithed to the preists (vs 26). 2) the sacred meal tithe (Deu 14:22-27) 3) The tri-annual tithe to the poor (Deu 14:28-29) So that was 19 percent per year for two years and 27 percent every three years, average 22 percent.
