To which there is yet to be a good answer.  I think I am in that third year - the one that calls for a party!!

I've wondered that.

Could it be because "tithe" simply means "tenth"? Or is the correct answer that in Deut. the word "tithe" in the Hebrew never has the direct article, so that it maybe should be translated "a tithe" in contrast to other passages where in the Hebrew it says "the tithe"?

Bob Pickle:
There may be other answers. For example, if the tithe was commanded to be given to the Levites, and then the Israelites are told to do something else with a tithe, then the two tithes cannot possibly be the same.

Snoopy:
So the Deuteronomy tithe came first.  Why isn't it the "first tithe"?  And how many more "tithes" are there?

Oops, I missed the question.

Why do you think the Deut. tithe was first?
