GodsBibleStudy.com Do you know Bible tithing verses? 

• Leviticus 27:30: "A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord's, and is holy" 
• Deuteronomy 14:22: "Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year" 
• Numbers 18:26: "When  you receive from the Israelite's the tithe I give you as your  inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the Lord's  offering" 
• Proverbs 3:9: "Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops" 
• Genesis 28:20-22: "This stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth" 

 Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42:

• Jesus criticizes the Pharisees for meticulously tithing even small herbs like mint and dill, while neglecting "the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness".
• He states, "These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others," emphasizing the importance of both tithing and justice, mercy, and faithfulness. 

Luke 18:12:

• A Pharisee boasts about tithing, but his self-righteous attitude is contrasted with the tax collector's humility. 

Other Relevant New Testament Passages:

• 2 Corinthians 8:2-5: Focuses on the generosity and willingness of believers to give, even in poverty, and emphasizes giving themselves to the Lord first. 
• 2 Corinthians 9:6-10: Encourages cheerful, not reluctant, giving, and promises blessings to those who give generously. 
• Galatians 6:7-10: Connects giving to sowing and reaping, highlighting the spiritual significance of giving with a hopeful and generous spirit. 

Key Differences from the Old Testament:

• The Old Testament law prescribed tithing as a requirement, whereas the New Testament emphasizes giving as a response to God's grace and love.
• While the Old Testament focused on a specific percentage (10%), the New Testament encourages believers to give based on what they decide in their hearts, as led by the Holy Spirit.
• The New Testament also highlights the importance of joyful, generous, and selfless giving, rather than a mere fulfillment of a legalistic obligation. 

In summary, the New Testament does not explicitly command tithing in the same way as the Old Testament. Instead, it emphasizes a more holistic approach to giving that stems from a heart of gratitude and love for God. Purpose of tithing is central to God's law and a way to establish a relationship with God.
