What is the correct biblical definition of “tithe”?

According to God’s Word, the true biblical tithe consisted ONLY of the increase of food and clean animals which were grown, or raised, in the land of Israel by Israelites. The tithe was NEVER MONEY. Tithes from animals could not even be redeemed for monetary value (Lev. 27:33). According to Numbers 18 and Hebrews 7:5, tithing is the foundational “ordinance” which established the very existence of the Levitical priesthood and made possible the enforcement of all other worship ordinances.
