‏ Leviticus 27:30

v. 30-32: The Israelites were required to give a tithe (one-tenth) of everything they produced—crops and animals. This showed they recognized God as the true owner of the land and all its blessings. Giving tithes was a way to thank God and ask for His continued favor. Tithes also helped support the priests and Levites. Today, Christians are also taught to honor God with their wealth and to share with those who serve God and others (Leviticus 27:30,32; Genesis 14:20 a; Genesis 28:22; Proverbs 3:9 b; Galatians 6:6; 1 Corinthians 9:11 c).
