"The article first examines texts in Josephus' Antiquities that mention the first (4:68-69, 205, 240, 242), second (4:205), and third (4:240) tithes. It also discusses four passages that illumine the practice of tithing in Josephus' own time (Ant 20:180-181, 205-207; Life 63,80). Then with the help of four NT texts that concern tithing (Mt 23:23; Lk 11:42; 18:12; Heb 7:1-10) it considers the Pharisees' tithes and Jesus' preaching, the nomenclature and practice of tithing, the object and destination of the tithes, and the funktion of the tithes". - D.J.H.
