I give tithes of all that I possess (Luke 18:12). This the Pharisees did with the utmost exactness. They would not leave out the most insignificant thing, no, not mint, anise, and cumin (Matthew 23:23). They would not keep back the least part of what they believed properly belonged to God, but gave a full tenth of their whole substance yearly, and of all their increase, whatever it was.
