Leviticus 27:30-33
|
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD.
|
|
|
And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
|
|
|
And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
|
|
|
He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
|
|
Numbers 18:21-26
|
And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
|
|
|
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
|
|
|
But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
|
|
|
But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
|
|
|
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
|
|
Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
|
|
Deuteronomy 14:22-29
|
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
|
|
|
And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
|
|
|
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
|
|
|
Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
|
|
|
And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
|
|
|
And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
|
|
|
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
|
|
|
And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
|
|
Matthew 23:23
|
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
|
|
Luke 11:42
|
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
|
|
Hebrews 7:2-9
|
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
|
|
|
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
|
|
|
Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
|
|
|
And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
|
|
|
But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
|
|
|
And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
|
|
|
And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
|
|
|
And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
