"A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain or fruit, belongs to the Lord"(Le 27:30). This is to remind us the Lord is the one who offers us everything and we should remember to contribute a tithe of our earnings or harvest to Him.
"I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the Tent of meeting" (Nu 18:21). Aaron was required to follow the order since the Lord rewards whoever serves Him whole-heartedly and loyally.
"You must not eat in your won towns the tithes of your grain and new wine and oil,…Instead, you are to eat them in the presence of the Lord…and you are to rejoice before the Lord…"(De 12:17-19).
"When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the alien, the fatherless, and the widow…"(26:12).
In all, God emphasizes sharing (Nu 18:21; De 26:12) and appreciation (Nu 18:21; De 12:17-19). We have to be grateful to the Lord for what we have. Then, pass along the favor to those in need. A tithe is not a huge amount, but it can work miracles.
