Here in Deuteronomy, God’s law concerning the tithe was clarified and explained. In addition to the initial tithe that went to the Levites, we also learn of two additional tithes: a festival tithe to support all Jews on the three yearly feast days, and a third tithe collected every three years for the poor and needy. This episode describes the two additional tithes, which, as the first, were directed specifically at the nation of Israel under the law, involved food and not money, and never were intended for the grace age Body of Christ today.
