Seeds of Righteousness
We see in Leviticus 27:30[1] talks about seeds and fruit and Leviticus 27:32[2] talks about herds and flock. Some tries to tell people that tithing was only animals and crops and not money but in Deuteronomy 14:25 tells us that for convenience we an "turn it into money".[3]
Animal Vegetable or Mineral
Did God ever want people to burn up animals and produce on piles of stone called Altars? Or does God know that in our seeking to give and forgive our hearts draw near Him to become fertile ground for His Spiritual seeds of righteousness?
In an agricultural economy sheep and cattle, grain and produce was the money of the day and turning these things into coin was perfectly acceptable according to the Torah. But some say they are a laborer, potter, carpenter, craftsman and produce no seeds or fruits or herbs or herds or flocks and therefor had no obligation to tithe.
It is poor Pharisaical thinking which produces nonsense like tithes were never money but saying you owe no tithe because tithes were only that which was produced from the earth is hypocritical balderdash, beans and baloney. What craftsman or artisan or common labor works to produce anything without eating seeds or fruits or herbs or herds or flocks?
In Leviticus 27:34 [4] these terms for tithing is called a commandments but the word mitzvah[5] also translated "precepts" is the word tsavah[6] with a Mem added in front to express the idea of flow.
The Hebrew letters that compose tsavah ^הוצ^ TzadikVavHei. Tzadik[7] means the "Faith of Righteousness" with the Vav[8] connecting that righteousness to the Hei[9] which represents your "Thought, Speech, Action". The addition of the Mem to produce mitzvah is merely telling us that our "Thought, Speech, Action" should express the flow of "Righteousness in Faith".
When Jesus told us to seek the "Kingdom of God" and His righteousness His words were preaching nothing more than an expression of what God told Moses from the beginning and the prophets and Moses told us in the Torah.
The Levites were the government of the nation of Israel. The tithe was the tax given freely to the Levite you personally believed served the nation best in service to the tents of the congregations. The Church in the wilderness and the early Church were the titular leaders of a government of the people, for the people and by the people that did not exercise authority one over the other. The people contributed in faith, by charitable tithes in hope that there would be benefits for them by the grace of God.
Tithing is a precept which has been around since the beginning of creation.It i built into nature by God and found in His Kingdom among people who love their neighbor as much as they love themselves. If you deny the wisdom and righteousness of God you deny God.
Tithing is not and never has been a mechanical regulation to be followed or enforced. It is and has always been the precept of love[10] and righteousness built into creation that brings the grace and blessings of God as we see in the Old Testament in books like Malachi 3 and all over the New Testament.
- Malachi 3:10 "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it]. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts."
- 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) 11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. {bountifulness: or, liberality: Gr. simplicity } 12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; 13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;"
