Leviticus 27:30-33
30 “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. 31 Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod—will be holy to the LORD. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’”
And here is the rest of it.
The very text you quote, Leviticus 27:30-32, actually disproves your own argument.
ReplyDelete1. True HOLY biblical tithes were always only FOOD from inside God’s HOLY land of Israel.
2. Though money was common in Genesis and the Pentateuch, money is never a tithe-able item.
3. Tithes could not come from what man increased, from Gentiles or from outside Israel.
