	2. Genesis 14: Abraham, Melchizedek, and Arab Custom
		Their position teaches that, since tithing, like marriage and the remainder of the "moral" law actually preceded the Law, then they are "eternal principles" which were not invalidated when the Mosaic Law was replaced by the New Covenant at Calvary.
		Evidently, the Arab war custom specified that ten percent of the spoils of war be given to the local priest-king, while the ninety percent belonged to the victor.
		Also, while it is noteworthy that the priests received a "tithe," or one tenth as much as the Levites received (1/1000th is 10% of 1/100th), the Arab custom of a ten percent spoil-tax-tithe from Genesis 14 is greatly reduced to only one percent in the Mosaic Law.

		Tithing CAN'T be practiced as it was in biblical times because the law, the agrarian system, the agricultural system, sacrifices, debt cancellation, Year of Jubilee and other interrelated factors are all abolished.
		So with the average American "tithing" 30-35% of their income to the Government for functions that the church no longer handles and "tithing" 10% to the temple PLUS offerings, Americans are expected to live off of about 50% of their income according to most mandated tithing teachers.
		Mandated tithing teachers make it sound like you aren't "putting God first" if you consider your vows before tithing yet those same teachers will tell a business that is "right" to pay their vows [bills and expenses] first and tithe on the profits.

		The purpose of this tithe was to support the tribe of Levi (the Levites) with food, because the tithes from the other Israelite tribes were the Levites' inheritance in return for the work that they did while serving at the Tent of Meeting (verses 21 and 24).
		In other words, when the Levites gave a tithe from all of the edible tithes which they received from the rest of the Israelites, the Levites' tithe was "reckoned to them" (verse 30) as if they had worked the ground themselves and then tithed from the produce of their land.
