1. A tithe in OT Law was 10% of one’s agriculture/fruit and animals in herds or flocks of 10 or more
Leviticus 2730 Thus all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the
land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’S; it is holy to the LORD …
32 For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD.
This tithe was given to the Levites (Numbers 18:21, 24) as they served the Lord full-time as priests and did not have inherited land like the rest of Israel. This tithe supported and fed the Levites (v. 32)

tithing
'... it wouldn't be hard for someone like me to tithe. I'd bring along an orange and a couple of grape-fruit to church once a year, and I'd be home free. But shall I give less because I am under grace than I would have been obligated to give under law? By no means! ... My giving should not be driven by a sense of guilt but an overpowering and awed sense of gratitude for the gospel.' - Iain Duguid, Living in the Grip of Relentless Grace, p. 57
