The issue of tithing is a critical issue amongst believers. The first tithe payer in the Bible was Abraham. In Genesis 14:18-20, the scriptures says, "Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the Priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: "Blessed be Abram of the Most High, Possessor of Heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand". And he (Abraham) gave him (Melchizedek) tithe of all." The tithe was paid from the goods he gathered after the defeat of the four kings led by Chedorlaomer, king of Elam. This first recorded tithe payment was hundreds of years before Moses was born and by extension before the Law was given through Moses. From this we know that tithing Pre-dates the Law.
