In Num 18:26 we read « Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe ». Again this tithing is according to the Law. In Deu. 12:17 « Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand ». In Deu. 14:22 « Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year ».
In 2 Chron. 31:6 it says « And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps », yet you say « Tithing isn't about the Law of Moses »? But it is.
