[7] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

tithe
   a tenth of the produce of the earth consecrated and set apart
   for special purposes. the dedication of a tenth to god was
   recognized as a duty before the time of moses. abraham paid
   tithes to melchizedek gen. 14:20; heb. 7:6; and jacob vowed
   unto the lord and said, "of all that thou shalt give me i will
   surely give the tenth unto thee."
   
     the first mosaic law on this subject is recorded in lev.
   27:30-32. subsequent legislation regulated the destination of
   the tithes num. 18:21-24, 26-28; deut. 12:5, 6, 11, 17; 14:22,
   23. the paying of the tithes was an important part of the
   jewish religious worship. in the days of hezekiah one of the
   first results of the reformation of religion was the eagerness
   with which the people brought in their tithes 2 chr. 31:5, 6.
   the neglect of this duty was sternly rebuked by the prophets
   amos 4:4; mal. 3:8-10. it cannot be affirmed that the old
   testament law of tithes is binding on the christian church,
   nevertheless the principle of this law remains, and is
   incorporated in the gospel 1 cor. 9:13, 14; and if, as is the
   case, the motive that ought to prompt to liberality in the cause
   of religion and of the service of god be greater now than in old
   testament times, then christians outght to go beyond the ancient
   hebrew in consecrating both themselves and their substance to
   god.
   
     every jew was required by the levitical law to pay three
   tithes of his property 1 one tithe for the levites; 2 one
   for the use of the temple and the great feasts; and 3 one for
   the poor of the land.
