The priests and the levites.

During the times of the old testament tithes would have been in the form of services for the community rather than money. A carpenter for example may have spent 1/2 a day per week repairing the church or helping a family in need of a carpenter.
It was more of a communal camaraderie, too bad it seems to be more about money and power today.

they went to the members of the tribe of levi.
"The tithe is specifically mentioned in the Book of Numbers and also in the Book of Deuteronomy. Numbers 18:24-28 concerns the tribe of Levi, and especially the family of Aaron. Because members of the tribe of Levi were assistants to Aaron, his family, and the Israelite priests and did not own or inherit a territorial patrimony, goods donated from the other Israeli tribes were their source of sustenance. They received from "all Israel" a tithe of food or livestock for support, but would first set aside a portion of that tithe for the Aaronic priests."

No one took care of them so to speak, Abraham paid tithe to Melchezidek and after the law was introduced, the tithe was paid to the high priest. This was used to support him, as it should still be today.

When you say 'who took care of the tithes' do you mean who they were paid to? If that is your question, I believe in the O.T. tithes were paid to the priest.....Now you pay (at least I do) your tithes(10% of your income) to the church and your Pastor.

Usually a man with the Priesthood would have collected tithing, so I would assume that worthy members of the tribe of Levi were appointed to collect it.
