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).
