Actually, my emphasis was on us not using barter like they did. Food and other items were bartered in those days as well as the cash and shekels and so on. We deal only in money. So, my point was that there is nothing wrong with giving 1/10th of income for offerings, or less or more. There is nothing wrong with giving 1/3 of income. But since bartering was in their system, things that could be bartered -- food -- were also implemented into that which was tithed. We do not barter food or items. So, we can tithe with money, and God can bless because we give in faith, not due to obligation for fear of a curse.
