… a tithe was not an income tax, for income was not tithed nor taxed! Only the increase from the field was tithed, which leaves out revenue earned by other occupations and investments. The value of something you might receive or earn from your job or business might have been taxed, but it was never tithed! Only the original produce from the land, and any animals raised on the land were tithed, not what you earned from their sale. If you did not raise animals or grow crops, a tithe was not required, according to scripture. See Lev.19:23 - 25; 27:30; Num. 18:26 - 31; Deut.14:22, 28; 26:9 - 13
