Hmm, now this is very interesting. Thanks for opening a can of worms. I think titheing in general is a subject that could get many people talking. I think one needs to read more than just "in context" but perhaps the entire chapter and one or two before.
Interested in what others would say.
God bless

Hi Mel, began reading at verse 22, The law of the tithe....
14:22-29 --The rabbis suggested, that,in addition to the normal tithe given to the Levites and priests, there was a second tithe consisting of a festal meal eaten by the offerer and his guests at the sanctuary (v.22-27), and that there was a third tithe gathered in the third and sixth years of a sabbatical period(v.28,29). Some scholars suggest that the tithe of verse 28 and 29 is the only additional one and hence is the second tithe. Still others contend that there was but one tithe, which varied in accordance with the dictates of the sacred times and circumstances.
God's blessings!!!!
With God's Love...............

Thanks, Lee. Yes a can of worms indeed. And thanks Lois, for your illumination with your knowledge of what has been said about this.
In Christ,
