Why The Priesthood Receives Tithes!129Tithing And The LawNumbers 18:21 states that according to The Law, God has giventhe tithes to The Levites so they can serve Him in the temple.Notice, it was given as an inheritance. In Verse 23, The Lawcommands that no other inheritance is to be given to The Levites.The tithe is the inheritance that was given to The Priesthood.This is because they have no inheritance in The PromisedLand. Their rest in the land is to serve in the temple for the sinsof the people - just as Paul said in Hebrews 5:1. So states TheLaw. Only Levites can receive tithes, because there is no “inheritance”for them.Abraham And JacobPaul declares that all High Priests who are ordained have this riteperformed for things pertaining to God. This is so they may offerboth “gifts” and “sacrifices” for sins (Hebrews 5:1). Whendid this practice begin? It started with Cain and Abel. BecauseAbel had a right heart, he was acceptable to God. Cain was toldthat he had a wrong heart, and therefore, he must master the sinwithin him. This was so he could be acceptable, as Abel had beenaccepted.To give sacrifices, Abel was God’s first accepted High Priestto give a sacrifice, but he was murdered before he could performthose duties. Melchizedek was God’s High Priest, to give sacrificesfor sins. That is what your Bible states. Since the word“Melchizedek” comes from two Hebrew words meaning “king”and “prosperous” and it stands to reason that Abraham tithed toMelchizedek. God is the one who gives blessings and prosperedAbraham. Abraham did so because he knew that Melchizedekwas The High Priest of The Most High God.
