Tithe and Beyond the Tithe: we are to be generous, never stingy, never having an “evil eye,” which is a Hebrew idiom for being stingy.

Nehemiah 10:33. Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with 1 the third part of a shekel for the service of the House of our God, 34. for the showbread and for the continual meal offering, and for the continual burnt offering of Sabbaths, of the new moons, for the appointed seasons and for the holy things and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for the work of the House of our God, 35. and we cast lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, 2 for the wood offering, bringing it into the House of our God after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD* our God, as it is written in the Torah (Teaching), 36. and 3 to bring the First Fruits of our ground, and the First Fruits of all fruit of a tree, year by year to the House of the LORD*, 37. also 4 the firstborn of our sons and our cattle, as it is written in the Torah (Teaching) and the firstlings of our herds and our flocks, to bring to the House of our God, to the priests that minister in the House of our God: 38. and 5 (a repeat of #3) that we should bring the first of our hulled barley, wheat, and our heave offerings and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and oil, to the priests, to the chambers of the House of our God, and 6 the tithes of our ground to the Levites, so the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage. 39. And the priest, the son of Aaron, will be with the Levites when the Levites take tithes and the Levites will bring up the tithe of the tithes to the House of our God, to the chambers, the treasure house. 40. For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring 7 the heave offering of the grain, of the new wine and the oil into the chambers, where the vessels of the Sanctuary are, and the priests who minister and the door keepers and the singers: and we will not forsake the House of our God.
