Reasons for and Uses of Tithes

The beginning of tithing as a commandments can be found in the book of Deutronomy 14:22-29
" Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
"And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy GOD, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, pan of thinr oil, and the first lings of thy herds and of thy flocks: that though mayest learn to fear the LORD thy GOD
"and if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, or if the place be too far from there, which the LORD thy god shall choose to set HIS name there, when the LORD  thy GOD  hath blessed thee.
"Then shalt thou turn it into money,and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go into the place which the LORD thy god shall choose:
"And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth:and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy GOD, and thou shalt rejoice, thou,  and thine household.
"And the Levites that is within thy gates: thou shalt not forsake him :for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
"At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithes of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates.
"And the Levites ,(because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee)  and the stranger,  and the fatherless , and the widows,  which are within  thy gates,  shall  come , and shall eat and be satisfied : that the LORD thy GOD may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest."
