But if it dies, it produces many seeds

tithing
The practice of offering to God a tenth of the harvest of the land and of livestock, as holy to the Lord.
The idea is also used in a more general sense, meaning offering one-tenth of one’s income to the Lord.
Tithing was practised before the giving of the OT law
Abraham offered a tenth of the goods taken in battle, apparently in thankfulness to God for victory.

Tithing under the law
A tenth of one’s annual income set aside for sacral purposes.
Tithing was common not only in ancient Israel but throughout the ancient Near East, and while the primary function was sacral, it was also utilized for state income (; ).
Most biblical texts indicate that the believer was obliged to tithe, though the manner in which this was practiced seems to vary from era to era.
Tithing extends to all kinds of produce and livestock Cereal and fruit offerings could be commuted to money.

The nature of the sacral tithe is most clearly and consistently outlined in the pentateuchal traditions.
establishes that all the seeds from the land and fruits from trees belong to God, and a tenth of all herd and flock are holy to the Lord.
The people were expected to tithe their grain, wine, oil, and firstlings from the herd and flock ().
An important component of the tithe involved the bringing of the yield to the designated sanctuary, where the people would participate together in a meal.
If it was not possible to transport the yield because of distance, then the yield could be redeemed for cash and the money used for whatever the person desired.
However, if one’s yield was redeemed for cash, then a further fifth of the yield must be added to the sum ().

TITHING WAS SO INGRAINED IN THE MINDS OF THE JEWS THAT THE NEW TESTAMENT RARELY SPOKE ON IT (MATHEW 23:23)
Jesus’ earthly ministry is about to come to an end
he helps us identify the sign that indicates
greeks which symbolized the larger word outside of Palestine were coming to see him
he sow’s his life and reaps a legacy
Jesus compares his life to a kernel of wheat that he will sow for a great harvest (WE ARE THAT HARVEST).
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.
I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again.
This command I received from my Father.”

JESUS BECAME THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB OF THE OLD TESTIMENT
Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are.
For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
HEBREWS 10:15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this.
First he says:
16 “This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”
n
17 Then he adds:
“Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more.”
o
18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
GOD MULTIPLIES MY TITHE

seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”

THE LAW OF FIRS MENTION (IRREFUTABLE LAW OF RECIPROCITY)
MATHEW 13:8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.

LUKE 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you.
A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.
For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick.
3 Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples.
4 The Jewish Passover Festival was near.
5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” 6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”
8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, 9 “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”
10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”
