Leviticus 27:30-33 ESV
“Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord. If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman's staff, shall be holy to the Lord. One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.”

A fifth should be 5/100 * Your Tithe. So if your Tithe is supposed to be 10,000 for Instance, your new Tithe will be (5/100 * 10,000) + 10000 = 10,500. 500 additional
IF on the other hand it is cumulative or a high amount, the rule remains unchanged.Lets take 1M for Instance, your new tithe will become (5/100*1,000,000) + 1,000,000 = 1,050,000. 50k additional
I hope this will help. Your calculation is wrong. Should be an additional 20% which is 1/5th. |
