Answer 1

There are 28 references to tithing in the Old Testament. The most popular one used is Malachi 3:10 -- "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it."

You may be referring to Leviticus 27:31 -- "If a man redeems any of his tithe, he must add a fifth of the value to it." This referred to people who didn't want to tithe their actual produce, but wanted to give "in kind," such as money. They could not redeem the tithe of livestock, but if they retained their crops for personal use and gave a monetary equivalent, they were required to give an extra fifth as a premium. This passage has little application to most people today since the average churchgoer gives monetarily anyway.

Answer 2

Tithe is 10%.
a fifth is 20%.
Tithing I believe is first mentioned with Abraham giving the King of Salem a tithe (10%).(Gen. 14:20).
Jacob also gave the Lord 10 %. (Genesis, chapterand verse slipmymoind for the moment).
The fifth (20%), the place that comes to mind about that in Joseph gewtting 20% ffor something during the famine.

Malachi 3:10

Answer 4

It is God’s requirement for the children of Israel (Gen.49:28) to tithe a tenth part (Nu.18:26, Neh.10:38, Matt.23:23, Lk.11:42, Lk.18:12).

Answer 5

Tithe - - a tenth part of one's goods - or monetary increase - per the Mosaic law, presented to the Levites for their material care and sustenance as they mediated between God and man and performed the duties in the Temple. It was established by God that the Levites be the priests and attendants to God and that the people care for their needs that they might not be "distracted" by the day to day struggles for food, clothing or shelter. The Levites were a priesthood set aside to serve God only and God's people. They were a chosen generation, a royal priesthood. 1Pe:2:9 calls the Believer the same. Though the Levitical "tribe" may remain in fragments today, after Jesus became the mediator between God and man, tithing for their support and the maintenance of the Temple became useless. This system was effectively rendered obsolete when the Temple curtain was rent in two.
Does tithing apply today.......
In the NT, references to tithing in Matthew 23 and Luke18 were used as part of a greater illustration of man's "righteousness" being insufficient, not to confirm tithing as a law or norm to be adhered to by true, post-Temple believers. Jesus, in Matthew 23:23, did state that the LAW of tithing also be adhered to but Jesus is now the High Priest and resides in the Temples of believers by virtue of the Cross and Resurrection. The only other references to tithing in the NT are in the book of Hebrews and again, it was used in a greater illustration regarding Jesus Christ, the High Priest. No where else in the NT other than Hebrews, Jesus' diatribe in Matt 23 and the illustration in Luke, is the word tithe mentioned. Tithing was a tenet of the Mosaic Law. Do we adhere to the Mosaic ceremonial law today?


Finally...
What I have presented here will obviously be seen as heresy to the corporate "foe". However, my Bible and the Spirit in me does not uphold nor endorse the false teaching of tithing prevalent today. I am sure I will catch hell for this. No matter, it is the Truth and it has been written as it has been written. Take or leave it. I love my God, His Truth and I love my brethren. Our modern churches are monuments to pride and worldliness. Their "doctrines" are gateways to utter spiritual destruction.
We must be aware at all times that everything we do is being judged (by God and others) at this very moment. Our actions speak much louder than words and our God is not blind or deaf. We will be called into account for the good and the bad. Pray we follow the Truth, search the Scriptures and obey God. Follow the examples set forth in the Bible, not in some book, study or long winded sermon based in simple greed. Check what you are being "fed" against the Word of God and trust no man! The Bible and prayer FIRST! We are LIVING sacrifices Saints, living sacrifices. As poor as dirt before God. To God's glory.
I want to leave you with a powerful quote from John Wesley's writing from March 1774:
"God trieth us every moment, weighs all our thoughts, words and actions, and is pleased or displeased with us according to our works. I see more and more clearly that there is a 'great gulf' fixed between us and all those who, by denying this, sap the very foundation both of inward and outward holiness."
"If we do not go on to perfection, how shall we escape lukewarmness, Antinomianism, hell fire!?"
Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. Philemon 1:3-6
