Tithes and Sensibilities

Introduction

The Mosaic Covenant had two tithes linked to the 7-year time cycle:
The first tithe is for the levites. It is to be given to them and no one else. They in turn, gave a tenth of their tithe to the High Priest and the sons of Aaron (the priests). 
The first tithe could be converted into money if one paid a twenty percent penalty. This tithe went to the Levites so they could devote themselves to studying Torah and then to teach what they had learned to the people.

The second tithe was used to finance the Israelites' three annual pilgrimage festivals (Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacle) to the place where YHWH had placed His name.
For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. Indeed I [g]have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Phillippians 4:16-20
