Tithes and Offerings in the Old Testament

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
All right, Michael, you this was
on my mind.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,800
I thought about this when we
were talking about food.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,400
The other podcast This will the
food.

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:08,520
One will the American.
Food.

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:09,480
The American food, Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

6
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,120
Yeah, and you mentioned French
fries.

7
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:14,800
Tom Holland.
Tommy Holland, you mentioned

8
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,520
French fries, not nothing to do
with country of origin.

9
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,440
Right, right.
Got me thinking.

10
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,360
I bet there's a lot of different
things that are just like

11
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,640
deceptively named, yes, you
know, So you probably know this

12
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,400
where this is going.
Do you know where German

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,960
chocolate cake was first
invented?

14
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,080
Pennsylvania.
This is a good question.

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,400
I don't, I don't know if it is
definitely United States of

16
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,120
America.
But it's like the dude's last

17
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:41,560
name.
Right.

18
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,240
It's the guy.
It's the guy.

19
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,200
What are the Samuel German?
Germans are messing everything

20
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,280
up.
Whether it's great.

21
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,400
This guy, Samuel German, an
American who owned Baker's

22
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,000
Chocolate Company in the 1850s.
I'm going to see where he was

23
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,920
from.
I think I read where was German

24
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:01,600
from?
I think he was from Dallas, TX,

25
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,560
But let's find out this it was
it's Texas.

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,760
I don't know if it's Dallas, but
it.

27
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,040
Yeah.
There you go, Here we go.

28
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,080
French horn.
Mr. Music Guy, do you know where

29
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,760
this was made?
I you know, I am a music guy and

30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,400
I always assumed the French horn
had something to do with France,

31
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,360
but I'm going to guess maybe you
know some guy named Tommy French

32
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,040
is the one who invented it or
something.

33
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,480
That's great.
French horn.

34
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,280
Oh, it's called a French horn
because it's similar to a type

35
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,480
of horn the French would use for
hunting.

36
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,520
But it was actually made in
Germany, but it was based off of

37
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,360
a French horn.
But it's not.

38
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,920
They didn't really use the.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the exact

39
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,240
French horn.
Do you know how to make a

40
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,480
trombone sound like a French
horn?

41
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,320
How do you?
You put your hand in the bell

42
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,160
and then play a lot of wrong
notes.

43
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,920
That one's for y'all music music
lovers.

44
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,600
That's great, A Panama hat.
Do you know where these are

45
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,880
from?
Clearly Panama Canal, right?

46
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,480
Ecuador.
Ecuador, OK.

47
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,320
These these are great.
You know, there's a there,

48
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,760
there's a lot in here.
I'm not.

49
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,320
Familiar Caesar salad.
Oh.

50
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,600
There you go.
Do you know?

51
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:20,760
Do you know the back I?
Believe it's the last name again

52
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,280
like some guy some guy made like
it has nothing to do with like

53
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,440
Caesar or Italy or Rome.
So yeah let's let's Fact Check

54
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,960
that is it was it Caesar's
Palace or like a dudes name who

55
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,560
made the sauce?
I think it was a dudes name who

56
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,840
made the sauce but.
Yeah, it was invented.

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,960
Not even by a check this out,
not even by a guy who had the

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,400
last name Caesar.
First name was Caesar and it And

59
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,000
it's like Caesar Cardini, an
Italian American restaurant

60
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,040
owner in Mexico.
It's not like Julius Caesar, not

61
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,760
to ancient Rome.
He owned a restaurant called

62
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,640
Caesar's Palace.
Yeah, that's why I thought.

63
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,040
Caesar's Palace and one busy
night his kitchen ran out of

64
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,920
ingredients and he improvised
creating the now famous salads.

65
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,440
Wow man, so many.
I'm just, I'm just like, it's

66
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,960
confusing if you have a name, if
your name, last name, or first

67
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,440
name is a country or some other
historical thing, you just

68
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,400
should not.
Don't invent something like

69
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,640
that.
You omit to us to not mislead us

70
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,960
by doing that.
English muffins made in America.

71
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,240
Boom.
I mean I I can kind of see

72
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,680
English the connection there.
Danish pastries came from

73
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,800
Austrian bakers.
Scotch eggs.

74
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,200
London, not Scotland.
Turkish Delight were first made

75
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,880
in Persia.
I could go on and on.

76
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,240
I'm just.
Turkish delight made in Persia.

77
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,000
I thought it was made in Arnia.
Sorry, Edmund.

78
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,000
You know Edmund.
Swiss rolls?

79
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,280
Central Europe, not specifically
Switzerland.

80
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,040
Russian dressing.
United States?

81
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,280
Once again not Russia.
Italian dressy dressing.

82
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,720
American Creation.
So basically all these countries

83
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,800
are getting credit for our
inventions because we're like

84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,920
naming, we're giving homage to
the, the, the, is it homage or

85
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,280
homage?
That's great.

86
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,960
I don't know what we're.
Giving we're giving some

87
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,000
throwback credit to, you know,
maybe what those countries

88
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,279
reminded us of when we when we
created it.

89
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,040
Here we go.
Oh wow.

90
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,760
Yeah, let's see.
Yeah, we touched on this last

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,200
time.
Buffalo wings come from Buffalo,

92
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,960
NY you know, California rolls
that actually did come from Los

93
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,120
Angeles.
That one checks out on the

94
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,000
white.
ChatGPT gave me that one.

95
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:35,840
It's.
It's now giving you ones that

96
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,480
are actually aligned with their
names.

97
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Roughly, So, you know, there you
go.

98
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,320
We'll just find a nice way.
Food, oftentimes in the Old

99
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,880
Testament, you know.
There was, yeah, basically it

100
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:55,720
was food, whether it was an
animal or a plant, and not the

101
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,040
subject of our podcast today.
But I was always told that the

102
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,560
reason that Cain's sacrifice
wasn't accepted was because it

103
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,720
was plants.
And it was.

104
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,160
Based off and.
It wasn't animals and he would

105
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,560
have known the difference.
And I was like, OK, that makes

106
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,520
sense.
But then you read the account

107
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,960
like.
There wasn't a whole life

108
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,880
that's.
Not there.

109
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,800
And then you go on to the Mosaic
law and like, Oh well, plants

110
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,600
and fruits and stuff are part of
the offering system.

111
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,600
So podcast for another day
maybe?

112
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,680
That's good because I think that
is that is kind of like common

113
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,040
knowledge in quotes where it's
like, of course, of course,

114
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,440
that's what that's what Cain was
doing.

115
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,440
I bet the first book of Enoch
again.

116
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,840
Clay, Clay's going to be like in
Enochian history, it was assumed

117
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:45,520
that you did that it was clearly
needed to be a blood sacrifice.

118
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,360
Blood was important and or
something like that.

119
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,760
So this could I'm also, I'm
going to this will be good.

120
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,360
We Clay is always texting.
We can, we'll talk, I will talk

121
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,120
about this more, but I, the one
I have not responded to him yet

122
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,880
'cause I just forgot about it
until you brought this up.

123
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,640
It's like, oh, I forgot to
respond to this text, but we

124
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,400
should talk.
I wouldn't talk with Clay more

125
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,640
about when Paul talks about
transgressions in Romans, he's

126
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,280
talking about the Watchers and
not Adamson.

127
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:13,200
Or maybe he's saying both.
He's saying plus.

128
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,560
Yeah, it was.
It was a novel.

129
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,920
Idea that that would be that
would be that would be where I

130
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,360
start to get pushed back.
But you know, I'm sure I'm sure

131
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,440
there's like there's some sort
of basis there or something like

132
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,880
that.
But a lot of good stuff.

133
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,480
Just a little teaser for the
next time we got clay on energy

134
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,800
drinks and more Enoch, but we're
talking tithing because I just

135
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520
every day I'm like, can we do a
little more Old Testament like

136
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,040
living?
I want to just like I think next

137
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,280
Sunday, bring your animals,
bring your plants, put it in the

138
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:43,800
offering plate.
Bring your animal.

139
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:48,200
Well, it won't.
It may not survive that process,

140
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,240
that animal.
You know, yeah, that'd be,

141
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,760
that'd be a that'd.
Be a tough to have that brazen

142
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,680
altar out there and the letting
the blood out dude just.

143
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,320
Bring that, bring that black
stove and just fire it up.

144
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,760
To get the, you know, the dung
and the entrails and stuff and

145
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,960
it's a pretty messy process.
Man.

146
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:14,440
Well, let's let's go ahead and
take it to the next level from

147
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,640
the hearts of the low country in
South Carolina.

148
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,960
It's the Take Two podcast where
we take theology to the next

149
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,280
level.
All right, so tides in the Old

150
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,440
Testament now, when you grew up
in church, did people talk

151
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,000
about, you know, you giving your
tithe?

152
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Oh, oh, yeah.
Tithes and offerings, Baby,

153
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,040
we're praying about our tithes
and that, that that always goes

154
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,520
together.
Did you tithe?

155
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:38,960
Yeah.
People be like, hey, let's talk

156
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,560
about tithing.
Like, you know, maybe there's a

157
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,440
sermon on tithing.
It it it was definitely common

158
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,480
vernacular.
Now did in the church, did they

159
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,200
have Galileans where you grew
up?

160
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,520
They probably didn't 'cause they
all had Awana, right?

161
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,960
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so we had Galileans.

162
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,560
I don't know if that's Abma
thing.

163
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,200
Abma thing 'cause were you
Southern Baptist or?

164
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,960
We were not Southern Baptist,
No, we were, yeah, Independent

165
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:01,760
Baptist.
We.

166
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,960
Were BMA Baptist Missionary
Association and we had Galileans

167
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,120
and GMAGMASI don't know what GMA
stands for, ask Jill or or

168
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,360
Jill's mom, but that GMA S was
for the ladies, Galileans was

169
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,680
for the guys.
And we had the Scripture memory

170
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,920
and the very first verse that we
memorized was that Malachi verse

171
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,560
that talked about, you know,
open up the storehouse and you

172
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,320
know, now.
That's a way to start your

173
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,880
program.
The first one.

174
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,039
Hey, give here The just
coincidentally happens to be

175
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:34,520
Take Two's theme verse.
So if you want to give two, take

176
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,640
Two, buy stuff from our store.
Yeah, that's great.

177
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,559
Yeah.
And looking back, I'm like, why

178
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,760
in the world, like of all the
verses that you'd want to start

179
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,560
guys memorizing from Scripture,
like this is important.

180
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,240
Give give the tithe.
But we're going to be talking

181
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,800
about the Old Testament tithe,
what it was and then you know,

182
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,520
kind of how it computed under
the Mosaic law, kind of think

183
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,200
that's important.
But we see hints of it before

184
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:09,440
then, like Abraham gave all of
his 10th to Melchizedek.

185
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,640
So there there are some hints of
that before, but a tide

186
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,200
literally just translates to
10%.

187
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,000
Checks out and because that's
like the go to like if if

188
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360
someone's talking about tithing
in today's world, they're like,

189
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,760
hey, give give 10% or that's
like they're not saying you have

190
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,840
to be, but that's like that's
just what.

191
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,680
It was good enough for the
Israelites, so should be good

192
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:32,920
enough for us, right?
Yeah.

193
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,000
So there's actually three
different tithes.

194
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,200
I don't.
Like where you're going with

195
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,280
this?
In the in the Old Testament, the

196
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,400
first one was the Levitical
tithe.

197
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:49,000
And if you've ever read through
the Torah or the Pentateuch or

198
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,640
the Law or the first five books
of the Bible, we could.

199
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,720
I'm sure there's some other name
we could go a.

200
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,080
Lot of them.
We're going to stop right there.

201
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,640
We have a ton more lined up,
yeah.

202
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,000
Then you've seen these laws
given and it seems like, you

203
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,200
know, you get a little bit in
Exodus and then there's

204
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,160
obviously more in Leviticus and
you think, OK, I'm we're done

205
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,160
with it.
Go on to Numbers and then it

206
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,960
starts shows up again and then
Deuteronomy, you're like, I'm

207
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,120
getting it for the second time.
So these are kind of, you know,

208
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,440
gleaned from across those.
It, it is pretty amazing how

209
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,040
probably I'll equipped I'm
thinking of myself here too, how

210
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,560
much I don't compute with some
of this stuff just because it's

211
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:29,040
such a different culture.
But you but it, it's so

212
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,680
repetitive and I've run it 100 *
1,000,000 times and you're just

213
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,200
like, man, it just I was telling
Mike before it aired.

214
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480
It'd be great just to have a
he's.

215
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:40,000
He should like just do object
less of all these Levitical

216
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,280
offerings because I think it's
just so hard to, you know.

217
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,640
To conceptualize.
And just think about it in your

218
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,360
day-to-day life, like how you
would do this, what the workflow

219
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,120
would be.
No, no, I think that's good.

220
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,440
So here are two verses that
reference this, what we'll call

221
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,520
the Levitical tithe.
The Levitical tithe was given to

222
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,280
support the tribe of Levi.
They didn't have a land

223
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,560
inheritance.
They didn't, you know, they

224
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:06,560
didn't get to say this land is
ours for forever.

225
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,920
And they were dispersed.
So they didn't want, they

226
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,040
weren't like all the Danites
were here and all the Judaites

227
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,880
were down in the South and all
the so they, they were scattered

228
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,560
across Israel.
And so the means of providing

229
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:23,720
for them was through this tide.
So Leviticus 2730 says Thus all

230
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,000
the tide of the land, of the
seed of the land, or of the

231
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,320
fruit of the tree, is the
Lord's, is holy to the Lord.

232
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,840
Another reference numbers 1821
to the sons of Levi.

233
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,720
Behold, I have given all the
tithe in Israel for an

234
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,760
inheritance, in return for their
service, which they performed

235
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,800
the service of the tent of
meeting.

236
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,240
And so this talks about the
tithe being from the land, and

237
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,720
we interpret that to be the
flocks and the herds.

238
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,480
Yeah, that's good.
Because if you if you were these

239
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,080
other tribes, you have a little
bit easier way of having a

240
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,040
means.
And you if you, if you wanted to

241
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,760
be like, hey, I sell my land to
someone else.

242
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,800
Levi's, Levi's a little bit
harder to to do some of that

243
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,120
where they're they're kind of
dependent on on that giving.

244
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,200
So it's 10% of the produce.
So that would be your fruits,

245
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,920
your vegetables, your wheat.
You know, when Jesus was

246
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,160
addressing the Pharisees, he
says you tithe a tenth of your

247
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,560
dill and cumin and something
else.

248
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:23,800
I think you'd listed three of
them.

249
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,080
Yeah, I was just trying.
I was about to make up like

250
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,400
somewhat modern herb but it's
not coming to me.

251
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,840
Parsley, you know, or something.
And he, he's like, but you miss

252
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,760
these other things like you
should have done.

253
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,720
That if you were.
Yep, that's right.

254
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,400
Plus these other things.
So, you know, we kind of look

255
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,680
like we look askance at them,
like, oh, you're picking leaves

256
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:46,920
off of your herbs, but Jesus,
like, no, no, that's that's

257
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,040
within reason because if you're
harvesting your herbs, a 10th of

258
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,440
that of that goes to this.
That, that, that that's great.

259
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,960
So that that's number one, if
you were are a political, if

260
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,080
you're going to run for office,
you might not want to use this

261
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,640
platform because you might not
get a lot of people because

262
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,960
we're not saying, hey, there's,
there's tide #1 we get tide

263
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,440
number. 2 the festival.
Tithe or also could be rejoicing

264
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,520
tithe and guess what, that's
going to cost you another 10%.

265
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,880
This was specifically consumed
by the Israelites themselves

266
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,440
when they would have these
different religious festivals in

267
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,880
Jerusalem.
Yeah.

268
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,400
So it's almost like, hey, you're
going to have a festival that's

269
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,440
going to be a Feast of Booths or
probably Feast of Booths

270
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,640
probably was not around at this
point in time yet, but whatever

271
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,200
those festivals were that were
around, it's almost like forced

272
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,000
savings so that they could.
Enjoy this.

273
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,880
Yeah, that that's kind of smart,
where it's like it's paying for

274
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,040
what they're doing.
Deuteronomy 1422 and 23 says you

275
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,520
shall surely tithe all the
produce from what you sell which

276
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:48,520
comes out of the field every
year.

277
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,480
You shall eat in the presence of
the Lord your God in the place

278
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,160
where He chooses to establish
His name to rotomy 14 A few

279
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,400
verses later, verse 26 says you
may spend the money for whatever

280
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,320
your heart desires for oxen or
sheep or wine or strong drink.

281
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,760
John Bacarth, you read that one
and there you shall eat in the

282
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,640
presence of the Lord your God
and rejoice.

283
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,640
So giving a little bit of leeway
here, but it's like reserved for

284
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,360
this particular.
Time.

285
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,000
Yeah.
So you took a tenth of your

286
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
stuff.
I I think you probably, I'm.

287
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,880
I'm assuming what happened is
like you take your 10th, I take

288
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,080
my 10th.
We all put our tenths together

289
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,920
and then we have a festival out
of it.

290
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,960
Or you could sell it if you
needed to travel someplace like

291
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,800
there was some to to celebrate,
but so there was a little bit of

292
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,360
leeway.
And if it was celebration, I

293
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,360
mean you, I mean, you could read
it here, Ox and Sheen point.

294
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,040
It's like you were, I mean, you
were putting forth a decent

295
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,040
amount.
You know, when you add it all

296
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,160
together, it'd be so interesting
to like just observe one of

297
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,600
these festivals, like from
ancient Israel just to see all

298
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,000
of this.
Because I think even we get into

299
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,200
the and it's like we have some
information, we don't really

300
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,320
know everything exactly right.
So it's hard to, like, make some

301
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,520
assumptions, you know?
Yeah, and these were annual, so

302
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,120
I don't know if like one time
out of the year, like if you had

303
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:04,040
100 sheep, 10 of them are going
how how that how they did that.

304
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,080
I think crops is probably easier
'cause you, you know, well,

305
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,160
we'll talk about first fruits,
but first fruits were an

306
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,000
offering and then you had to
give a tenth of the total.

307
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,440
How did that work?
Like if let's say you you had

308
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,200
100 bananas that you were I want
to give something discreet or

309
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,680
100 oafers of barley or
something like that.

310
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,720
And then like, does the first
one go?

311
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,240
And then you owe 9 more because
the total, yeah.

312
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,480
Yeah, it's so interesting.
We don't know exactly how they

313
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,840
counted it out.
But there's only two ties.

314
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,520
We're done.
No.

315
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,440
So the first.
The first two are annual ties.

316
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,440
This other one is every 3rd
year.

317
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,160
Yeah, you you need, you need an
accountant to keep up with all

318
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,560
these things 'cause it gets gets
a little bit a little bit

319
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,240
tricky.
So this would be like year 3 and

320
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,160
year 6 you would give a second
tenth of all of your

321
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,280
agricultural increase and that
would be stored for the needy

322
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,040
people.
So Deuteronomy 1428 through 29,

323
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,360
it's in the same general area.
At the end of every 3rd year,

324
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,400
you shall bring out all the
tithe of your produce.

325
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,040
In that year, the Levite, the
alien, the orphan, and the widow

326
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,000
may come and eat and be
satisfied.

327
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:26,120
So now we have those who are in
need can can do that a little

328
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,520
later on 2621 when you finish
paying all the tithe of your

329
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,640
increase in the third year, the
year of tithing.

330
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,760
So it also talks about this
being there as far as far as a

331
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:45,720
timing event, so 10% stored kind
of a treasury for those who are

332
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,680
in need.
Yeah, that's kind of that's kind

333
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,800
of the built in system here.
So you got your Levitical tithe

334
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,840
10% every year, Festival or
Rejoicing tithe 10% every year

335
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,400
and then this for the needy,
this for the poor, tithe 10%,

336
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,920
but every 3rd year.
So if you're like trying to, you

337
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,240
know, break it down a little
bit, effectively 23.33%, you

338
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,280
know, maybe it's like 20% and
every 30 or 30%, but you kind of

339
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,440
break it down.
Yeah.

340
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:16,359
And and this that percentage
that you just mentioned is

341
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,160
explicit to it.
Well, I shouldn't say explicit,

342
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,839
but it is for the first six
years.

343
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:23,839
Yeah, OK.
That's right.

344
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:26,119
Yeah.
Yeah, the 7th year, yeah, which

345
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,960
doesn't isn't in this first
calculation, but I get it later

346
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,400
on.
The 7th year is the Sabbath

347
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,400
year.
OK, Yep.

348
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,720
And so you're not growing
anything?

349
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,560
Any Yeah.
And I think you're just supposed

350
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,080
to kind of let like what happens
to your sheep, they're still

351
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,960
mating and.
Happening.

352
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,400
Yeah, stop that.
Yeah, I don't know, like.

353
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,760
Yeah.
But anyways, it was a year of

354
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,720
rest.
So since you it was a year of

355
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,160
rest, you also didn't do those
annual ties that year so that it

356
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,800
was on a 7 year cycle, so.
Years one through 6.

357
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,840
Yeah.
So it would be that that 23%

358
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,840
would be.
Distributed.

359
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,320
But you're also supposed to be
living off of.

360
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,840
Some of that.
That like so you were supposed

361
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,800
to have saved up enough over
those first six years and

362
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,640
specifically.
That's right, you're.

363
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,400
Supposed to have so much that
you're able to save and get

364
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,600
through the 7th year, so yeah.
Great hope you were paying

365
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,960
attention because we're starting
to offerings and then you get

366
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,160
you got instead of three, you
got to expand your mind a little

367
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,920
bit and think through some of
these other.

368
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,880
So how many total are do we
have?

369
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,720
I think there's like 8-9, nine
different offerings.

370
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,480
We'll try to hit these rather
quickly, but burnt offering,

371
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:41,680
this was for atonement and
complete concert to God.

372
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:48,480
The passage is Leviticus 1/3
through 4:00 and basically just

373
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,280
talks about bringing a burnt
offering to the Lord.

374
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,160
And you know the priest is going
to lay his hand on it, and this

375
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,480
was something that would be done
regularly.

376
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,720
Great offering #2A grain
offering, an offering of the

377
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,400
work of 1's hands, expressing
devotion and dedication of

378
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,480
Labor.
You know, Leviticus 1 was the

379
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,560
burnt offering, Leviticus 2.
So Leviticus is just laying out

380
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,160
these offerings back
back-to-back and is saying when

381
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,120
anyone presents a great offering
to the Lord using fine flour,

382
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:19,240
pouring that oil on it,
frankincense on it, bring it to

383
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Aaron's sons, and he'll take a
handful of this flour with the

384
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,760
oil in the frankincense and
offer it up in smoke as memorial

385
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,000
portion on the altar by fire.
And it's a soothing aroma you

386
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,160
might hear that you know in
other parts of Scripture as

387
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,680
well.
I'm guessing that's what it was,

388
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,480
the BBQ smell or like the
grilling out smell, soothing.

389
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,360
Room number 3 was a peace
offering.

390
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:45,040
And this was a celebration of
peace and Thanksgiving or

391
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,440
fulfillment of a vow.
And it had in mind this idea of

392
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,920
like we're going to give an
offering in in honor of

393
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,800
fellowship and Thanksgiving.
Leviticus 1.

394
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,320
Leviticus 2 Now we're in the
Leviticus 3 for this one.

395
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,280
And so you know the high priest
would take the offering of

396
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,760
peace.
He's gonna offer it from the

397
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,360
her, whether it's a male or
female.

398
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,760
Yeah, it could be female.
Yeah, on.

399
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,920
This one.
And so we we see this peace

400
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,960
offering given and there's some
more instructions about, you

401
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,000
know, how it's eaten and stuff.
But yeah, peace.

402
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,920
Offering important, don't leave
any of it leftover till morning.

403
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,800
You're supposed to like enjoy it
like that, that that day #4 sin

404
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,880
offering an atonement for
unintentional sin.

405
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,120
And I bet people just had widely
different like, you know, people

406
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:33,440
that are like really are like, I
might have sinned my sense of

407
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,800
people like, you know, cleansing
from unintentional sins and

408
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,000
restoring their relationship
with God.

409
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,520
Leviticus 4 talks about if a
person sins unintentionally and

410
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,520
any of the things which the Lord
has commanded, which if you've

411
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,560
read a Leviticus or Deuteronomy,
a lot of things, if you commit

412
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,840
any sin, if the anointed priest
sins to bring guilt on the

413
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,480
people, then you need to offer
the Lord.

414
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,000
This time it's a bull without
defect as a sin offering for the

415
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,400
sin which he has committed.
I think it's interesting, you

416
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,120
know, male without defect for
this offer could be male or

417
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:01,560
female.
This one, it's got to be a bull,

418
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,400
like looking at the differences.
Yeah, that that is interesting.

419
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,360
So just kind of recap, we have
this burnt offering and I think

420
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:11,680
that's probably just for
general, hey, we're separated

421
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,920
from you and now we have what
you just went over a sin

422
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,040
offering and that's for
unintentional sin.

423
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,720
And now we have a guilt offering
and it's really kind of for

424
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,800
intentional sin like restitution
and purification.

425
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,680
That's atonement for specific
transgression.

426
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,000
And transgression is a sin where
you you knew you're sinning, you

427
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,520
stepped over the line on
purpose.

428
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:36,120
If a person acts unfaithfully
and sins unintentionally against

429
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,960
the Lords holy things and he
shall bring his guilt offering

430
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,240
to the Lord.
And this time it's a ram without

431
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,360
defect from the flock, according
to you.

432
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:47,800
So you would go you, you could
see, you know, TomTom bringing a

433
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,720
ram not a bull did it on
purpose.

434
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,600
Busted.
And then the kicker on here is

435
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,080
you got that 20% vig.
You basically got to pay like I

436
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,440
make a restitution, here's my
RAM plus 20% more than than what

437
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,760
I did.
No, that, that's good.

438
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,760
So guilt offering.
Number six, free will and vow

439
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,800
offerings.
I'll just make this note too,

440
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,600
this is where we start.
We're still in Leviticus, but

441
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,400
before it's like 12345.
This is Leviticus 22.

442
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,040
So we're a little bit different
part of Scripture.

443
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,120
This was a voluntary expression
of devotion or fulfillment of

444
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:23,400
vows.
And Leviticus 22, it says speak

445
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,480
to Aaron to a sentence, all of a
sentence of Israel and say to

446
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,840
them, any man of the House of
Israel or the aliens in Israel

447
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,440
who present his offering,
whether it's of their motive or

448
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,920
any of the free will offerings,
then they present to the Lord of

449
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,480
burnt offering.
So you kind of have want to go

450
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,160
not above and beyond, but you're
like, hey, I just want to

451
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,280
express, I love you God hear or
fulfill on the vows.

452
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,920
I'm going to do this free will
offering.

453
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,840
All right #7 first fruits
offering kind of mentioned this

454
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,440
earlier because we're going to
tithe off of all of our fruits,

455
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,640
but we're also going to give
from our first fruits.

456
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,560
It's acknowledgement of God's
provision and like you're

457
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,600
trusting like it.
You'd be so easy.

458
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,640
Like we got our first crop in
we'd like to.

459
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,160
You know it could.
Rain, you know, your other crop

460
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,160
could get spoiled out there.
You could have locusts come out

461
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,800
here, but you're going to give
that first fruit back to God.

462
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,680
And this is in Exodus 2319.
You shall bring the choice first

463
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,480
fruits of your soil under the
House of the Lord your God.

464
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,280
You're not to boil a young goat
in the milk of its mother.

465
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,160
Just add on there you know.
Yeah, there you go.

466
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,560
And then as I mentioned again in
Deuteronomy.

467
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,760
Goat is so good you boil it and
it's mother's milk, am I right?

468
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,760
I don't know, never tried it.
If you want to look more at

469
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,400
this, Deuteronomy 26 one through
10, a longer passage that deals

470
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,280
with this first fruit offerings.
Offering #8 Drink offerings.

471
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,160
This is a supplementary
offering.

472
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,920
It can go often times along with
these other sacrifices.

473
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,080
We read about this sacrifice
specifically in numbers 15

474
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,680
versus 513.
It talks about preparing the

475
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,080
wine, the drink offering.
You take a fourth of hen with

476
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,120
the burnt offering.
So you can see another offering

477
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,680
is included here or, or for the
sacrifice for each lamb or for a

478
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,920
ram.
And it kind of goes through the

479
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,880
different ways you can use this
with a peace offering however

480
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,320
you want to.
But just kind of one of those

481
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,560
over the top got got the drink
off and going ito.

482
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,240
I, I don't mean to, I, I'm just
thinking through practical stuff

483
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,800
here because I've watched a lot
of cooking and like, if you

484
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,440
braise meat on like a metal
thing, often times they deglaze

485
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,960
the pan with alcohol and it gets
that stuff off.

486
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,600
And you know, like some of this
is an offering to the Lord, but

487
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,160
then the priests are going to
eat this this food that's

488
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,680
offered.
And, you know, you just think

489
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,600
about the practical things that
maybe God had.

490
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,520
In mind, yeah, yeah.
How it all kind of works out?

491
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,600
All right, the heathen wave
offerings of these are pretty

492
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,760
self exciting story.
Everyone knows what the heathen

493
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,640
wave offerings are.
We probably don't even talk

494
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,560
about it.
Just skip it.

495
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,560
Yeah, everyone.
But these portions of the

496
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,960
offering presented to the Lord,
and then to the priest.

497
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,720
You shall This is Exodus 2927.
You shall consecrate the breast

498
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,120
of the wave offering and the
thigh of the heave offering

499
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:10,120
which was raised of the ram of
ordination of that which was for

500
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:12,080
Aaron, of that which was for his
son.

501
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,360
So I don't know exactly what's
going on here, but basically you

502
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:19,560
would wave something or you
would heave it up like in

503
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,080
celebration or or something and
it was to be given as an

504
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,200
offering, so.
He even wave we should bring

505
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,160
that to the to the offering
plate.

506
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,120
Just, you know, wave that money
around.

507
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,880
That's great.
So you've got in this notes

508
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,320
here, it's it's pretty nice that
the different context, different

509
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,160
contents, you know, what kind of
things were you sacrificing

510
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,360
animals obviously.
And you know, certain times

511
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:46,240
it's, you know, certain specific
parts of the animal like the

512
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,640
thigh or whatever it might be,
portions of grain offerings.

513
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,880
We got produce, we got first
fruits.

514
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,840
We have drink offering on there.
We also see in Exodus 25, you

515
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,920
know you're bringing silver and
gold specifically when they're

516
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,040
building the Tabernacle and
stuff.

517
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,120
They're they're using a lot of
that.

518
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:08,760
So if you tally all that up the
ties and the offerings over A7

519
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,560
year period, counting that 7th
year Sabbath, you're looking at

520
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,600
somewhere up tithing around 20%
of everything you have offering.

521
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,360
And this, this was calculated
based on a, you know, a, a

522
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:28,000
middle of the road, not overly
generous person around 5 to 7%.

523
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,600
It could be more if you're
generous.

524
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,480
So you're tithing around 25 to
27%, which is about what?

525
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,720
Yeah, I think.
Close to a a normal American's

526
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,920
taxes?
I don't, I don't know.

527
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,280
Yeah, speak for yourself.
I know you, you, you, I I try to

528
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,080
circumvent the I all the
loopholes.

529
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:46,480
No, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's not, It's funny in the

530
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,480
in the tide code, there's not a
lot of loopholes here.

531
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,400
You can't be like I'm going to
write this one off.

532
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Right.
Well, well, I mean, they they

533
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,680
get punished because they start
ignoring this, right.

534
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,200
And they don't get the land.
It's it's Sabbath rest or the

535
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,840
year Jubilee and stuff.
So, yeah.

536
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,480
So I think that's a good Old
Testament picture of the tides

537
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,280
and offering.
That's good.

538
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:10,520
It wasn't just 10% and it was it
was more than that and there was

539
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,040
a system to it.
So there you go.

540
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,440
Any anything else you want to
add?

541
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,520
I I think it's good because
yeah, we read about these these

542
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,240
things a lot.
I like kind of trying to

543
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,880
pinpoint like what would this
look like?

544
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,280
And I think I think that is
good.

545
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,480
It, it's significant, but it's
not unlike probably what, you

546
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,560
know, just in a different form.
It takes probably a lot more

547
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,640
time and commitment and it's
like, I'm not just going to

548
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,000
TurboTax once a year, but you're
like doing these things, you

549
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,280
know, as part of your everyday
tied up with your finances.

550
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,520
But that's good.
And so we can see, you know,

551
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,040
there is what we see in the New
Testament, people bring in their

552
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,360
animals and 1st fruits and all
this, but these principles.

553
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,880
So I, I like that.
I'm looking forward to the

554
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,840
giving and seeing, you know,
what words are used?

555
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,920
How do they connect?
Like are we picking up on these

556
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,080
illusions?
Are we going different

557
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,400
direction?
Like how, how that fits?

558
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,960
So I got nothing else.
Yeah, only thing I was to say,

559
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,320
you know, often times when God
is talking about, you know, be

560
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,080
careful getting a king because
the king is going to take an

561
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,120
additional 10% basically.
So you take that.

562
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,280
That's right on top of.
That now you're.

563
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:19,040
Talking like. 3540% of your
income, about 30 of it going to

564
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,760
support the Levitical
priesthood, 10% to support the

565
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,480
king and his armies and stuff.
Yeah, it starts to add.

566
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,960
Up it starts to add up that wow,
that that's a really, really

567
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,160
good point.
So is the the giving one will be

568
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,760
the next one in our finance?
Party the New Testament New

569
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,320
Testament What the new what what
New Testament giving looks like?

570
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,080
Yeah, yeah.
Great.

571
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,960
I can't wait.
That's our take.
