Has anyone done a study on the OT Tithe .. my pastor said it was more like 28-30 percent

Where can I start reading to investigate

I found this bit of juicy text .....

Deut 14

22 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year.
23 And before the LORD your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24 And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the LORD your God blesses you, because the place is too far from you, which the LORD your God chooses, to set his name there,
25 then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the LORD your God chooses
26 and spend the money for whatever you desire—oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household.


Set aside a tithe for a party



*goes back to studying

okay ... since the tithe is part of the Mosaic Law, the mosaic law requires three tithes



TITHE #1: This tithe was entirely devoted to the priestly tribe of Levi who had no land allocated to it and no inheritance among the Israelites. This is sometimes referred to as the Levite's tithe.....

Lev 27:30
Lev 27:32
Num 18:24
Num 18:28

TITHE # 2: The second tithe may be called the festival tithe.

Deut 12:11-12



TITHE # 3: The third category of tithing in the Mosaic Law may also be known as a "welfare tithe"....

Deut 14:28-29
Mal 3:10-12

The infamous Malache 3. So used to coerce people into tithing. The curse that it speaks of , is the curse of not obeying the Mosaic law.

Our Lord Jesus has fulfilled all the requirements of the Law and has therefore taken the curse of not fulfilling it from us!

Matt 5:17

Gal 3:13

13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."

So there ya have it .. if ya wanna go by OT tithing ... (3*10=30)

That'll be 30 percent please.

yeah... the OT tithe is 20% 1 year, 20% the 2nd year, and 30% every 3rd year... or it breaks down to 23.3% if you calculate it out annually

this was one of the issue i brought up to my former pastor when i decided to leave
