The act of setting aside a portion of one's resources is a deliberate action that reflects a heart of worship and submission to God's authority. It is a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people, where obedience is a response to His faithfulness and provision.<p><b>a tenth of all the produce</b><br>The concept of tithing, or giving a tenth, is rooted in the ancient practice of dedicating a portion of one's income or produce to God. This practice is seen throughout the Old Testament, beginning with Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek in <a href="/genesis/14-20.htm">Genesis 14:20</a> and continuing with Jacob's vow in <a href="/genesis/28-22.htm">Genesis 28:22</a>. The tithe is a recognition that all blessings come from God and a way to honor Him with the firstfruits of one's labor.<p><b>brought forth each year</b><br>The annual nature of this command highlights the regular and ongoing commitment required in the life of a believer. It reflects the agricultural cycle of ancient Israel, where the harvest was a time of celebration and gratitude for God's provision. This regular practice of tithing serves as a continual reminder of God's faithfulness and the believer's dependence on Him.<p><b>from your fields</b><br>This phrase situates the command within the agrarian context of ancient Israel, where the majority of the population was involved in farming. The fields were a primary source of sustenance and economic activity, making the tithe a significant act of trust in God's provision. It also underscores the connection between the land and the covenant, as the land was a gift from God to His people, and their stewardship of it was a reflection of their relationship with Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Deuteronomy, who is delivering God's laws and instructions to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are receiving these instructions as they prepare to enter the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/promised_land.htm">Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, which God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/tithing.htm">Tithing</a></b><br>The act of setting aside a tenth of one's produce or income as an offering to God, a practice commanded in the Mosaic Law.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/fields.htm">Fields</a></b><br>Represents the agricultural context of ancient Israel, where the economy was largely based on farming and livestock.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a></b><br>Tithing is an act of obedience, reflecting trust in God's provision and acknowledgment of His sovereignty over all resources.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/stewardship_and_generosity.htm">Stewardship and Generosity</a></b><br>The practice of tithing teaches believers about stewardship, encouraging them to manage their resources wisely and generously.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faith_and_dependence.htm">Faith and Dependence</a></b><br>Setting aside a tenth requires faith, as it involves trusting God to meet one's needs with the remaining resources.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_support.htm">Community Support</a></b><br>Tithing supports the community of faith, providing for the needs of the church and its ministries.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_discipline.htm">Spiritual Discipline</a></b><br>Regular tithing cultivates a habit of giving and helps believers prioritize their spiritual commitments over material concerns.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_deuteronomy_14.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Deuteronomy 14</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_deut._14_22-27_contradict_tithing.htm">Deuteronomy 14:22–27 says tithes can be exchanged for money if travel is too far.
