PROPERTY GIVEN TO RELIGION

PROPERTY GIVEN TO RELIGION: The firstborn of man and beast was by Divine requirement given to The Lord (Exodus 13:2). In addition to this the Hebrews were required to give, one-tenth of the products of their land (Leviticus 27:30); one-tenth of the increase of flocks and herds (Leviticus 37:32-34); a special tithe every third year (Deuteronomy 14:28,29); to the poor at all times (Deuteronomy 15:7-11); according to their ability when they attended their annual feasts (Deuteronomy 16:16,17); the first fruits of the land (Exodus 22:29; Deuteronomy 26:1-11).
