The tithe from the land refers to agricultural produce, which was the primary source of sustenance and economy in ancient Israel. This practice underscores the principle of acknowledging God's provision and sovereignty over the land.<p><b>whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees</b><br>This phrase specifies that the tithe includes all agricultural produce, both grains and fruits. In an agrarian society, these were essential for survival and trade. The inclusion of both seed and fruit indicates the comprehensive nature of the tithe, ensuring that all aspects of agricultural production are recognized as gifts from God. This reflects the broader biblical theme of stewardship, where humans are caretakers of God's creation (<a href="/genesis/2-15.htm">Genesis 2:15</a>).<p><b>belongs to the LORD</b><br>The tithe is not merely a gift but a recognition that everything ultimately belongs to God (<a href="/psalms/24.htm">Psalm 24:1</a>). By giving a portion back, the Israelites acknowledged God's ownership and their dependence on Him. This principle is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to give generously as an act of worship and trust in God's provision (<a href="/2_corinthians/9-7.htm">2 Corinthians 9:7</a>).<p><b>it is holy to the LORD</b><br>The term "holy" signifies something set apart for a sacred purpose. The tithe is consecrated, indicating its special status and purpose in worship and community support. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness, where God's people and their offerings are set apart for His purposes (<a href="/1_peter/1-15.htm">1 Peter 1:15-16</a>). The tithe supported the Levites, who had no land inheritance, and facilitated the functioning of the tabernacle, highlighting the communal and worshipful aspects of giving.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Leviticus, who received the laws from God on Mount Sinai and communicated them to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The recipients of the laws, including the commandment regarding tithes, as part of their covenant relationship with God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_promised_land.htm">The Promised Land</a></b><br>The land given to the Israelites by God, from which they were to offer tithes of their produce.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, to whom the tithes are dedicated as holy.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/tithing.htm">Tithing</a></b><br>The act of giving a tenth of one's produce or earnings, which is a central theme in this verse.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_principle_of_ownership.htm">The Principle of Ownership</a></b><br>Recognize that everything we have belongs to God.

The last things mentioned which cannot be dedicated to the Lord by a vow are tithes. Like the firstborn of Animals (see <a href="/leviticus/27-26.htm" title="Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD's.">Leviticus 27:26</a>), they already belong to God by another statute.

Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek (<a href="/genesis/14-20.htm">Genesis 14:20</a>; <a href="/hebrews/7-4.htm">Hebrews 7:4</a>). Jacob vowed the tenth to the Lord (<a href="/genesis/28-22.htm">Genesis 28:22</a>), whence we see that the practice of the payment of tithes was not of Mosaic institution, but immemorial. The duty was, however, commanded afresh for the Israelites. "I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle" (<a href="/numbers/18-21.htm">Numbers 18:21</a>), and of this tithe they were to pay a tenth to the priests (<a href="/numbers/18-26.htm">Numbers 18:26</a>). Being already the Lord's, the tithe of the corn and fruits could not be vowed to the Lord, but it could be redeemed, or commuted, by the owner paying one-fifth more than the price at which it was valued. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/27-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Thus any</span><br /><span class="heb">וְכָל־</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ḵāl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun -
