Wow...... I think Jesus will be proud of how much do they recollect with tithing... by the way why I never see that Jesus requested for tithing?

1. Tithing is also given Genesis.
2. Genesis may be part of man's old testament; but not part of God's. (God's old testament; the law of Moses). Was Moses born (Exodus 2) yet?
3. The Lord (not lord) from Genesis-Malachi was the Lord Jesus Christ.
Does that answer your question(s) above to your satisfation?

The children of Israel were the first commanded by the law of God to pay tithes. Since Jehovah’s worship was to have primary place in the lives of the Israelites, it was necessary that some arrangement be made to finance that worship. This was done through the law of tithe. The tribe of Levi, which received no inheritance, was maintained by the tithe. Another tithe was set aside for use in connection with Jehovah’s festivals, and this was replaced by a tithe for the poor on the third and sixth years of every seven-year period. We never read of the tithe being an undue burden. In fact, when the people kept God’s law closely they became more prosperous. The arrangement worked to the good of all.—Num. 18:21-27; Deut. 14:22-24, 28, 29.
When Christians became anointed with God’s spirit at Pentecost A.D. 33, their tithing to Herod’s temple ended then and there. God had rejected that material temple and later permitted the Romans to destroy it. How, then, could they support what God himself rejected? Tithing was to those Jewish Christians “a shadow of the good things to come,” a new system of things put into effect by Jesus Christ. It foreshadowed the spiritual tithe, our money and other contributions, be they small or great, which are given to the support of God’s service and all of which together are a token or a symbol of the fact that we have dedicated our all to Jehovah our God; it is a memorial of our dedication.—Heb. 10:1.
Therefore, must you tithe? The answer is No. Paul said: “Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” So give cheerfully, give freely, give liberally, but any law that says you “must” is in excess of the Scriptures.—2Â Cor. 9:7; 1Â Cor. 4:6.

"Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and give to God what is God's."
Jesus may not have asked for tithing, but He tithed!
Jesus was a perfect Jew according to the law.
