Just reading in Malachi 3 and a thought occurred to me: Had the definition
of "tithe" changed from the one in Leviticus [crops and herds] towards the
one used in Christianity [all income whether goods or money] or does that
post-date the break between Judaism and Christianity. I just had a feeling
I may have been reading something into the text that isn't there. Checking
the meaning of "McSR " didn't help as it was basically "tithe", "one tenth".
Did Judaism move towards tithing other than agricultural produce?
