TithingInfo

Disclaimer:

Please know, (As One Studies, You will find) that the letter "J" did not enter into the English Alphabet until roughly less than ~ 500 years ago, around the ~ 16th Century. It was the Last Letter to be added into The English Language! Also, That the name "Jesus" comes from the Greek name "IESOUS" - (which has a lot of controversy surrounding it!)

"IESOUS" is supposed to come from the Hebrew word/Name - "YaHushua" / "YaHusha".

Therefore, it is the Authors "wish" that you recognize - "YaHushua" / "YaHusha".

(Correctly "translated" ---- [not transliterated] into English = "Joshua") as the name intended throughout this outline, which (through research and Prayer) most accurately represents the closest name of our Messiah when He walked this earth.

The name "Jesus" comes up on some of the Modern Day Scripture links throughout this outline, and is kept do to the commonality of it's usage; but it is really considered more of a mis- used nick- name. Each time you see that name, please register

"YaHushua" / "Yahusha", (YHWH Saves / Saved) as the most appropriate name for Him. For almost ~ 1600 years after He (The Messiah) walked the earth, he was not called "Jesus"

- (in Prayer, or anything else).

- When the name was transliterated from the Hebrew, it lost it's meaning!

* Do The Research For Yourself! (Don't Just take my word for it!)

Also, while we are speaking on the Names; it is the Authors wish that you recognize YHWH, as the name intended here (also one of the most accurate names) for Our Heavenly Father.

Shortened Version - YaH (As in Psalms 68:4),

Or in the Phrase "The Highest Praise Be To YaH!" - "HalleluYaH" / (Alleluia - Revelations 19)

For Outline Purposes, you might see the word "GOD", or the words "The LORD" here; again because of the Commonality of it's usage! I do Recognize HIM as The Supreme "Elohiym" (Or The Mighty "El"), and as The LORD of Lords! (Ruler/Master of Rulers/Masters).

Although no one can truly say/pronounce HIS name besides "I AM THAT I AM", or "Hayah Asher Hayah" [English-Hebrew] in (Exodus 3:14). In (Exodus 6:3), most might actually see HIS name as JEHOVAH, or "The LORD" in most of today's Bibles, but the word/Letters that were actually there, and Should be there now are "YHWH" called the Tetragrammaton. And Since the Letters "E", "O", "A" (vowels) were added, and the letters "J", and "V" Did Not Exist in The English Language At The Time! I choose to use a closer name version here - "YaHuaH" or "YaHWeH" (from YHWH) - adding 0 to 2 letters (for pronunciation purposes), instead of Five! You might see during this Outline that I chose to use either above or "YHWH" plainly many times instead of "The LORD", or "GOD" (which are plug-ins, in the Bibles that we read today).

Either way, Our Heavenly Father searches our Hearts to see what's in there. Whether ignorant of certain things, or not, HE will search our Hearts! The Scriptures do have a lot of emphasis on HIS Name; and The Holy Scriptures also tell us to Study to show ourselves approved... Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth! ------- I am striving to do that! ------- Are you doing the same...?

Biblical Scriptures Pertaining to

the Tithe(s) / Or to "Tithing"

This Page! A Quick Look at The Facts!!!

-- "Old" Testament/Covenant Scriptures --

In Order, Directly / Indirectly Related to "Tithes"

Tithe/Tithes/Tithing: (Taking OR Giving A Tenth! ~ 10%)

Let's Step through The Scriptures -- "Know For Yourself!"

______________________________________________________________________________________

Genesis 14:11-24 (20) What is the FULL Story there?

Did Abraham keep Any? ---- was it 90%? ---- The Answer is "NO"

A Little Different from Modern Day Thinking of Tithes!

(Stick around, you will learn more differences!)

>> Know This! <<

** (He Returned ALL,

except what the men had eaten,

and what they already had with them!)

* According To Scripture, We Only See Abraham have an encounter with The King of Salem "One Time" - in his whole Life!

The King of Salem (Type of Christ/Interpreted "King of Peace") helped those after a just cause, that had need; those that were tired/war stricken (from travel, fighting/killing, transporting of goods/people for Days & possible Weeks). These were servants/noble men that were willing to give their life to Right - the wrong that was done! Yes, He was the Priest of the Most High GOD (El), & He gave Bread & Wine to them, a forshadowing of Messiah's actions - (Matthew 26:26-29).

We "never" see Abraham Tithe (give a Tenth) Again! We (Honestly) don't know if he ever did again!?

We Don't Know if he ever had an encounter with The King of Salem (later JeruSalem) - High Priest again?

That One Time, Abraham Showed his Appreciation to the King of Salem, by giving a Tenth of the spoils to him!

This happened "after" he and his people were given aid by the caring King which had blessed them!

(His Heart was to save Lot; but - also to help the people!)

He (Abraham) Lived to around 175 Years Old

(and Note that he had other encounters with The LORD! -> YHWH)

* But Also Take Note: The Bible Doesn't show that he taught his children (Ishmael or Isaac), or any others to tithe!

Nor, does it show that he ever did it again!

Genesis 28:16-22 (22) Jacob made a vow with conditions to it.

If One has eyes to see, it was something like this: [If you... / Then I...] (verse 20)...

(This was of Jacob / Himself - (Not Command / Law at that time),

Asking The LORD (YHWH) to keep him on his journey!

We will Also See Another Way that Man can & has Given To, or Given Back To Our King in Glory (Matthew 25:34-40)

* The # 10 (even 1 tenth) is used throughout the Bible in Various situations & circumstances! NOT just with Tithes!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's Understand what GOD Really Wants from us!

Exodus 24:12 Moses was told why he should come up to the Mount! --> (LAW / Commandments!)

Exodus 25:1-2 What was the Very First Thing The LORD (YHWH) Instructed?

(Take from

those that Give

-- "Willingly" --

from the heart...)

Verse 8 - Tells us why HE spoke this! The LORD (YHWH's) First Requested Sanctuary

(Voluntary Offering!)

No Percentage Mentioned!

Exodus 28:1 Who is / "was" chosen to hold the Priest's Office? (Back Then!)

Exodus 28:30 Aaron (at that time) shall bear the Judgment of the Children of Israel... (before "The LORD")

Aaron doesn't do it anymore! (Who does it now?) Something Changed!

Keep Reading!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leviticus 27:30,31,32 Reflects back on the Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai.

(Tithe of the Land, Tithe of the Herd, or of the Flock, of whatsoever passes under the rod)

The "Tenth" shall be Holy unto (YHWH) The LORD!

What happened if that person was not blessed with 10, and only had 8?

How was the Tenth given? Did that person have to tithe on the 8 (or a lessor #) ?

Do Most Modern Day Churches EVER mention a person's option of Redeeming their Tithe / or even a Process for that?

And "HOW" was it to be Holy To (YHWH) The LORD? (Regarding this possible food/other; there are many views!)

Keep Reading!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In The Book of Numbers, We See something happening with the Priesthood (also Special emphasis regarding Tithes)

Numbers 18:20 Aaron/children of Levi will have No Inheritance, except what (YHWH) The LORD gives...

(What was given to Aaron / the Children of Levi?)

Numbers 18:21 All the "tenth" in Israel for an inheritance, for their service...

Numbers 18:22 Children of Israel not allowed to come near the tabernacle... (Not so, Now!) Keep Reading!

Numbers 18:23 The Levites (Levitical Priest's) are to bear the iniquity of the Children of Israel.

* Statute (Ordinance - Law) forever -- > throughout "your" generations,

Is that done Today? Are there any Levitical Priest Today? NO!

Our Iniquities..., now? (They are Handled/bore Another way/ by SomeOne Esle!) - See ISAIAH 53:5

** We can also see an Evidences of change in (Hebrews 7:11-12 - or Just look at Hebrews 3:1) Have Your Eyes Open!

Back to Numbers Chapter 18

Numbers 18:24 The Tithes..., (YHWH) The LORD gives to the Levites to inherit! (To Survive!)

(Read the rest of the Chapter for more, like Verse 31, Instructed to Eat the Tithe!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Keep "Alert" Levels Up! - Please Pay Attention to this Section Also!

Deuteronomy 12:10-19 Wow, Who actually get's / "Eats" the Tithe here? Everyone!

Deuteronomy 14:22-29 Again, this takes a different look at the act of Tithing.

(One Big Party!!!) - "To Celebrate" - What The LORD (YHWH) has/had done for them!

And Yes, you see there was Money back then!

** (Actually The "Only Time" in Scripture Tithe was associated with Money!) **

(Verse 25) --------> used for what? -----> Whatsoever... (v 26) * (In Righteous Celebration)

(Verse 22), if there was NO Increase in the field that year?

Was one required to Tithe that Year? NO!

(Verse 29), Is very important to understand -- as you continue reading on.

Providing for those in need! - Setting up a Pattern for our Hearts in giving! See tale end of Verse!

* See (Deuteronomy 15:7-15) - It Shows a pattern how YHWH thy GOD (Elohim) wants our Hearts to be in giving.

Looking out for others (in need!)

Deuteronomy 26 (whole Chapter) Verse 12 tells us the 3rd Year is the Year of Tithing!

(Who is the Tithe given to? Levites, Strangers, Fatherless, and widows; "to Eat!")

** YHWH thy GOD (Elohim) wanted those in need, to be cared for! **

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 Chronicles 31:2-21 Pay attention to verse 10 ("We had enough to eat!").

What was the Tithe of?

(Some say the Storehouse originated here, because of the abundance!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nehemiah 10:32, 37-39, In 12:44 (We see there is a difference, ---> "offerings, / First fruits, / and Tithes")

In Chapter 13:10-12 (we see that portions to the Levites were NOT given to them (foods)). Nehemiah 10:37

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amos (4:4-), Again we see a 3 Year Tithe.
