Gn. 28:22• 22Y esta piedra que he puesto por título, será casa de Dios: y de todo lo que me dieres, el diezmo lo he de apartar para ti. (Gn. 28:22)

Pr. 3:9• 9Honra á Jehová de tu sustancia, Y de las primicias de todos tus frutos; (Pr. 3:9)
the third part.According to the law, every one above twenty years of age was to give half a shekel to the sanctuary for a ransom for their souls.
But, on account of the general poverty of the people, occasioned by their wars, and captivity, and by heavy tributes, etc., in the land of their captivity, this sum was reduced to the third part of a shekel.
Éx. 30:11‑16• 11Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
 12Cuando tomares el número de los hijos de Israel conforme á la cuenta de ellos, cada uno dará á Jehová el rescate de su persona, cuando los contares, y no habrá en ellos mortandad por haberlos contado.
 13Esto dará cualquiera que pasare por la cuenta, medio siclo conforme al siclo del santuario. El siclo es de veinte óbolos: la mitad de un siclo será la ofrenda á Jehová.
 14Cualquiera que pasare por la cuenta, de veinte años arriba, dará la ofrenda á Jehová.
 15Ni el rico aumentará, ni el pobre disminuirá de medio siclo, cuando dieren la ofrenda á Jehová para hacer expiación por vuestras personas.
 16Y tomarás de los hijos de Israel el dinero de las expiaciones, y lo darás para la obra del tabernáculo del testimonio: y será por memoria á los hijos de Israel delante de Jehová, para expiar vuestras personas. (Éx. 30:11‑16)

Mt. 17:24‑27• 24Y como llegaron á Capernaum, vinieron á Pedro los que cobraban las dos dracmas, y dijeron: ¿Vuestro Maestro no paga las dos dracmas?
 25El dice: Sí. Y entrando él en casa, Jesús le habló antes, diciendo: ¿Qué te parece, Simón? Los reyes de la tierra, ¿de quién cobran los tributos ó el censo? ¿de sus hijos ó de los extraños?
 26Pedro le dice: De los extraños. Jesús le dijo: Luego los hijos son francos.
 27Mas porque no los escandalicemos, ve á la mar, y echa el anzuelo, y el primer pez que viniere, tómalo, y abierta su boca, hallarás un estatero: tómalo, y dáselo por mí y por ti. (Mt. 17:24‑27)

2 Co. 8:12• 12Porque si primero hay la voluntad pronta, será acepta por lo que tiene, no por lo que no tiene. (2 Co. 8:12)
• Since the priests and Levites had no inheritance in the land, tithing was their provision (Num. 18:21). (“Tithing and Firstfruits - Neh. 10:32-39” by N. Simon)
• It is easy to fall into a habit without having the heart exercised; when these habits are enforced, they will appear as legality. Furthermore, because there is no reality, legality is accompanied by hypocrisy, and, often, outright immorality. In the case of Israel, it was not the things mentioned — separation, honoring the Sabbath and tithing — that were wrong, but the manner in which they were taken up. They became a purely human thing apart from God, and, consequently, though there was much religious pride, they were in no moral state to recognize the Lord Jesus as Christ when He came.... So it is today; many complain of legality, and perhaps there is that cold, religious formalism. However, to abandon the truths of Scripture is an error in the opposite direction. True submission and obedience to God and His Word is the only right path. (“Tithing and Firstfruits - Neh. 10:32-39” by N. Simon)
• (Exod. 30:11-16.) This no doubt suggested the annual contribution before us, lessened probably to a third of a shekel on account of their poverty (chap. 9:37). In after years it was raised to half a shekel and became a tax upon every Jew. It was concerning this that the collectors asked Peter, "Doth not your master pay tribute?" (Matt. 17:24-27.) (“Exposition on Nehemiah: Nehemiah 10” by E. Dennett)
