Income from tithes. Wonder what “tithe” is in other dictionaries

“For ten years now, financial matters have been important to everyone, including me personally,” says Vira Drobinska, a doctor from Astrakhan. - My sister lived with me with a man and a small child, the man was seriously ill, my sister did not work, and my salary was withheld for months. We were hungry. Even though no one cares, more and more often in the Bible I heard the words about tithing: “How can people rob God? And you rob Me. You will say: “How am I robbing You?” Tithes and offerings” (Mal. 3:8). Further there it was written that the Lord wants to be verified that the wines of His treasures will not burst forth and that the blessings will not suffocate after the tithes are brought to the temple.

It was impossible not to respond to such a call. Having once taken an advance payment of 50 rubles, I carried 5 rubles to the nearest church. She stood in front of the box of victims, trying not to think - “What are you doing? who needs everything? - and prayed: “Lord, it’s so little, I’m all at borg before You. Take this small sacrifice with mercy.” As soon as I put the pennies in the box, peace filled my heart. I won’t say that we have more pennies, but from that day they began to be stolen. Although the mighty one took on himself a turbot about my finances.

The sisters and I were against it, so that we would give our tithes to the temple, because we did not believe the priests, and then we and our sisters began to donate to orphans - to help at the children's hospital, where the vicars were lying, and this mercy became ours oh tithe. That's how it all began. And from that hour, as soon as I forget about the tithe, the pennies immediately cease to be grabbed, and as soon as I remember, everything turns out to be true. “Divna rich!”

For the temple and for the poor?

The story of Vera Drobinskaya tells us that mercy can replace a sacrifice with a temple, but the current priests still do not agree with this idea. For example, Priest Tigriy Khachatryan, a minister of the missionary branch of the Kursk Diocese, says: “Alms are voluntary on the right, do according to your conscience. And the sacrifice to the temple - transfers the burden of the human parishioner to the community before his arrival. A parishioner who gives voluntary alms to the deyak, will not wait until the needs of the parish.”

How was the Old Testament fulfilled during the hours? Before tithing, fruits, vegetables, grains, wine and creatures that were also valued by the creatures of the earth were included. The fates continued on this day, like dark days. Six years ago they gave tithes, but seven years later they paid the Sabbath: the earth lay and the tithes were not raised.

The Old Testament tithe was made up of three parts and became not 10%, as they all said, but 19%. The first portion of the beginning (besides this fate) was given to the Levites and priests - 10 and 100% (div. Deut. 12: 19; 14: 27). Another part was given to the saints and became 10 out of 90% of what was lost (they were taken to the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th rocks). The third part was given to the poor and was put aside only on the 3rd and 6th rocks, on the basis of the Holy Day (div. Deut. 14: 22-29; 26: 12-15; Am. 4: 4-5).

Therefore, it turns out that charity (share for the poor) was included in the concept of “tithe” and was a mandatory commandment: “After the completion of three times, give all the tithes of your deeds to that day, and put them in the villages of your arrivals... ь, і orphan , and a widow... do not eat or suffer, so that the Lord your God may bless you at every hand of your hands, whatever you do” (Deut. 14: 28-29). It is not surprising after such a charge that, although the Law does not say what punishment follows for non-payment of tithes, the Israelis, having respected their obligation to comply with the rules and pay everything diligently.

The New Testament – ​​a call to completeness

The sacrificial death of Christ and His resurrection put an end to the Jewish Law with its ritual commandments, “squeezing ... the law of commandments to the faithful.” Now every Christian himself can determine how many people are ready to donate to the temple, how many to the poor; Kozhen is obliged to repair it in such a way as he “believes in his heart.” Apostle Paul clearly wrote in one of his epistles: “In this case I will say: he who is stingy with this, will be stingy with the reap; and whosoever so bountifully reaps also bountifully... God is mighty to enrich you with all grace, so that you, always looming in all abundance, may be rich in all goodness... in all bounty, which is God's through us." (2 Cor. 9: 6, 8, 11).

“The New Testament has no boundaries,” explains the rector of the Church of St. blgv. Tsarevich Dimitri at DCL No. 1 Archpriest Arkady Shatov, head of the Moscow Commission for Church Social Activities. - The commandments of the New Testament are exhorted to the utmost, so that not just pennies, but your whole body, soul, heart, mind - give everything to God and your neighbor! The Lord said: “...If you want to get everything done, go, sell your cards and distribute them to the foals; and you store treasures in the sky; and come and follow Me” (Matt. 19:21). In the New Testament, we cannot at all be separated by tithes - it’s just a different level, lower, older! The Lord calls us to give more and more, so that whoever reaches this level of growth will be blessed. We need to live like this so that our hearts are calm. So that my conscience does not twist. Kozhen can give as much as he can: he can give away everything, he can serve the foals, he can give tithes.”

Giving in the early Christian Church was accepted “with regard to those who do, and not to those who do not. It is not necessary that there should be relief for others and heaviness for you, but for there to be evenness” (2 Cor. 8: 12-13). The Apostle Paul did not want to sacrifice for the harm of his “household” (1 Tim. 5:8).

Unwisely given

Reverend Ivan Listvichnik (VI century) tells the story of a girl whose father died and deprived her of her great mace. And once she said that there was a person in her garden who wanted to hang herself. She came and asked why she should work, and she believed that it was a great burden and in this way she wanted to save her family. The girl asked exactly how many, and it turned out exactly how many shirts she was putting together. Vaughn sold the cards and helped the people take over the Borg, and she herself became a harlot, because she had nothing to live on. She spent many years in dissolution. This girl did not know anything about Christ, and if she found out and wanted to be baptized, everyone was considered to be her guarantors, because they knew about her life (at that time, in order to be baptized, a guarantor would be required). And one day they found her dead, lying on a birch tree in the ocean. At the choroidal shirt. The angels baptized her. The Lord, remembering these beginnings, remembering the principles of life. John of the Climacus writes that when the heart is given unwisely, and when the heart is broken, the Lord accepts it and drinks it.

And let me tell you the story, which shows that the Lord, for His mercy, rewards the legend of the one who “sits” with the ungodly, one of the volunteers of the Orthodox service “Mercy” said: “I took a small loss - 100 thousand rubles. This was the end of our action, since I, as a volunteer, preached about the need to become a friend of mercy and give one hundred percent of income to good deeds. It turned out that I myself needed to pay one hundred hundred rubles from the fall! At first, I really wanted to do it this way, but then it became a waste of my money. My salary is small. But my conscience continued to writhe, and I went to the confessor, I think he will immediately tell me: in the future you will spend your pennies on charity - save them for yourself, you are already a volunteer - and my conscience will calm down.

Alas, that was not the case. Father in the speech, in front of the Cross and the Gospel, told me, as if nothing had happened, that it is necessary not only to give one hundred hundred for charity, but also ten hundred hundred for the Church. Well, I guess it’s time to eat! I had to give ten hundred rubles as well - but ten thousand. I grieved, I grieved, but to be afraid, I got lost myself. Not long ago, the boss of the robot called me and said: “Don’t you want to hire one of the robots and get an extra ten thousand for her?” It turned out that for those that I, leaning heavily, gave a tithe, God immediately turned me back, and not just once, as I have earned, but for thousands!”

“Do not tempt the Lord your God”

Sensing about miracles, similar to those described above, there are people who are trying to take advantage of their “profits” in the form of sacrifices for the temple or alms: “When we once came to the famous elder Tavrion (Batozsky), he lived near Riga, - Father Arkady gives Shatov, - one person I know, knowing that Father Tavrion, whoever is on his way, gives pennies with him, having learned and, according to the dosage, distributing everything that he had saved up for the journey, to the foals. And Father Tavrion didn’t give me anything. I had a chance to ask people I knew for money for the journey home.”

It seems that Saint John the Merciful, Patriarch of Alexandria, while still a lad, had already taken on the image of the beautiful maiden Mercy: “I am the eldest daughter of the Great King,” she said to you. “If you make me your girlfriend, then I recognize you as a Tsar of great grace, because no one has such strength and courage as I do.” From these words, Saint John understands that if anyone wants to gain mercy from God, he himself may be merciful to his neighbor, but if he wants to, he still needs to believe it.

On the way to the church, the saint is in the presence of a naked gill, who is afraid of the cold, and has given him his outer garment. Before Saint John could reach the church, a man in a white robe, stretched out a small bag of treasure coins, and the man - he was an angel. “From that hour, when I gave something to the poor, I wanted to try it, and God would give me for it, as He said, a hundredfold. I, having tried it many times, I’m convinced that it’s true. I said to myself: “Stop, my soul, disturbing the Lord your God!”

Tithe in the Old Testament

Before the Old Testament, the tithe included fruits, vegetables, grain, wine and creatures that were also respected by the creation of the earth.

Number of arrivals

Today's Germany has a church tax, which is at the expense of certain communities - Catholic, Jewish, Evangelical (not all Evangelical Churches of Germany are interested in this right, in which they respect, which violates the principle of strengthening of the Church as a state) both Atheists and believers of all other religions communities, including Orthodox Christians (belonging to denomination is indicated in the tax declaration), they are not subject to taxes.

Church taxes become the main part (about 70%) of the income of German religious communities. This size must lie in the accumulated surplus tax, and since in Germany the surplus tax is charged only to the income that exceeds the singing rhubarb, then such a linking of the church tax to the surplus tax automatically covers the payment the possibility of the believer. After the war, only 35% of the faithful are able to pay the church tax, the rest include children, adults with low incomes and pensioners.

Tithing, as a form of provision for the Church, became widespread in Russia. Thus, the holy Prince Volodymyr, using a tenth of his income, founded the Church of the Tithes and established it. In Russia, they collected tithes, as in ancient Israel, in kind, for the benefit of the temple and its ministers. The name was "ten's priest", and after the Stoglavy Cathedral - the "ten's priest", who was given the collection of tithes. In the 18th century, the plantings were mown down.

“When I served in the village,” says Archpriest Arkady Shatov, “there were plates at the church for collecting pennies, and in my youth I struggled with this, it seemed to me that there was no way to sell grace for pennies. And now I call on all our parishioners to donate to the temple - because the stench is about to share its fate with the life of the community. How many people think at once: “What can they take from me - I’m so poor!” Although the forms of participation may be different, the fate of the living parish, including its material side, must be drawn. Make sure your skin is in good condition when you arrive. Previously, people always brought something from themselves to the liturgy (“prosphora” meaning “offering”): some - bread, some - wine. According to one of the long-standing rites of the liturgy, children, who do not wash anything, should bring water to the temple so as not to come empty-handed!”

Transfer of a tenth of the power of the processed product to the administration of religious institutions and the clergy. This long-standing practice was widespread in antiquity, in Judaism and closely related cultures.

St. z. The commandments about the tithe reinforce the amount (tenth part) of the gift, which promotes faith in the absolute right of God to distribute grain, wine and the oil that allows people to harvest. At different historical periods, Israel had different orders regarding tithes. Before the codification of the Reiteration of the Law, the transfer of tithes was accompanied by religious cults of saints at the shrine, for example, Amos (probably in connection with Jacob's tabernacle, Booth 28:22) divines about the tithe brought to Beth-Elu (Amos 4:4). The first crop of thinness and the tithe of the harvest were designated for the Yuletide meal. The priest who served at the sanctuary, the priests, widows and orphans shared the meal with those who brought tithes. The unspent part of the tithe was given to the priests, their servants, and also to the needy (Deut. 14:22).

Nowadays, the first crop of thinness and tithes were brought to the head sanctuary in Jerusalem (*at that place, which is the place where the name of God may be known there,” 14:23), the family of Levi and from various places of the goiter. to bring Jerusalem to take part in the holy meal. As the price became more expensive and the provision of the tithe became more important, it was allowed to sell the tithe and buy everything necessary for Jerusalem (v. 24 and gave the tithe in the locality). i (v. 2829; 26:1215).

The delivery of tithes to Jerusalem has changed. This significant world was transformed into a donation of a part of the birth, which is similar to a cult gift. In addition, the concentration of the liturgical cult in Jerusalem made the need for the temple priesthood to be limited to regular income. During the period of the full, the tithe became one of the taxes paid to the clergy. In full texts, the cult meal is not forgotten; During this period, the tithe was put into storage for storehouses (Neh 10:38; Mal 3:10). They were no longer delivered to Jerusalem, but were given to the local Levites (Neh 10:3738). In other words, the tithe was actually converted into a tax.

The NT has many mysteries about tithes. Jesus scolded the Pharisees for not paying tithes (Greek apodekatoo), rather than condemning other important ones to the law of justice, mercy and faith (Mt 23:23; lk 11:42). Luke tells about the Pharisee who prayed in the Temple: “... I give a tenth of everything I buy” (18:12). Hebrews 7:6; 8:9 There are three messages on But, from the mystery of the tithe.

In the early Church, members were required to pay tithes. On the administrative side near the station. h. the rules were viewed as an absolute minimum of necessary donations, which were paid from the entire income; "Didas" commands that the "first fruits" be given for "pennies, clothes, everything myna" (13:7).

In recent church history, there is an obligation to pay tithes in advance, in compliance with Christ’s commandment to sell everything and give the money to the wives (Mt 19:21), as well as with Paul’s decrees, whereby Christ brought freedom to d rozorderen for: law (Gal 5:1). КVVIbb. the practice of tithing was firmly established in the historical Christian regions of the countries, and in the 8th century. The Carolingian rulers obliged the payment of church tithes with a portion of the sovereign law.

Until the XII century. The Cheng, formerly, were prohibited from accepting tithes without mercy (and they themselves paid a damn), they were given freedom and were allowed to accept tithes without paying them and not pay them. Often the fires were set on fire: some were trying to escape in the form of payment, others were trying to appropriate the income in the form of tithes.

The Middle Ages tithes were divided into land (harvest fruits), specialties (products of labor) and mixtures (creature products). In addition, they were divided into large ones (barley, oats, wood), the curves were transferred to the parish priest or the abbot of the local monastery, and small ones, which included all other types of land tithes plus mixed and personal tithes.

In England, especially before the XVI-XVII century, the nutrition of the tithe became the subject of constant conflict, the remains of the goodness of the sovereign Church lay in the form of payment. Probation of Archbishop Lodado 1640 r. promote the obligation of tithe payments based on serious socio-political and economic reasons. English Puritans and other groups advocated tithes for voluntary donations for the clergy. The hottest and most controversial controversy was the topic of tithes during the Great War. After it was legislated, the practice of tithing continued until the 20th century.

Who gave Melchizedek the high priest a tenth of every kind of bottle that he had taken from four kings. The tithe was made up of a tenth of the creation of the land, herds, etc. and went to the bark of the Levites, as they were not a little wet land, and served as a source of food for them. A tenth of Levi's tithe was taken from his Chergu for the morning of the high priest (Num. XVIII, 21-32). Tithes in kind were allowed to be exchanged for pennies (Deut. XIV, 24-26).

Responsibilities at Sunset

Tithe at the beginning of Europe was a simple voluntary sacrifice to the church of a tenth of income; and little by little the church collected tithes of obov'yazkova: Turks Cathedral 567 r. asking the faithful to pay tithes, Macon Cathedral 585 rub. already ordered to pay tithes, under the threat of excommunication.

At the same time, the church became more and more concerned about giving tithes properly. Demanding protection and searching for the feudal state, bishops and abbots often gave tithes to the land lords, in order to establish one of the most important aspects of the feudal distance in the church. With the power of the kings, the clergy had to share tithes and the rest. Nareshti and Tata also began to extract part of the tithe for bark.

Due to the fact that the tithe was already a great income for the church, that it became an important burden on the secular supremacy, and that the papacy, royalty and feudal lords claimed part of this income for the clergy, the tithe often served as the subject of There are strong connections between adjacent elements of the middle mixture.

During the era of the Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church spent the largest Protestant lands of all its worldly wealth and income, which became the property of the secular authorities and the nobility (div. Secularization), which led to the impact of church tithes i.

In England, the tithe, however, was saved, and the attempt to save it was collected in the era of the first revolution of the 17th century, but was not successful, because in the English church the tithe went to the training of the clergy, and Yes, it was possible to find a replacement for her other than income.

In the Catholic powers, tithes continued to exist as before, and, for example, in France, often before the revolution, the clergy took away about 125 million levres of tithes, since much more was lost in the hands of the powerful clergy.

Z r. The era of collecting tithes begins, as a result of which the taxes were given to France, and the revolution took away the tithes for free, and the powers accepted the place of the clergy, as a result of which the value of all land power in France, so Due to this church tax, it rose by one tenth. In Switzerland and other German powers, the tithe, like in France, was harvested without the fruits of these institutions, on the basis of which it was collected, but most of the German powers (Nassau, Bavaria, Hesse, Baden, Württemberg, Hanover, , Austria, Prussia ) and in) went to the vikupu system.

In the 19th century the tithe was collected in England, where in the river. According to the Tith Commutation Act, a significant change was made to the distribution methods of collecting taxes. In rural tithes (prediales), payment in kind was replaced by a sum called tithe rent-charge. The quantity of bread, barley and everything was installed once and again (the norm the average of 7 rocks is accepted), and the value of it, which is very officially calculated at market prices, is paid a pittance.

The tithe acted as a plot of land, which takes the shape of a rectangular parallelogram with two options for its sides:

• 80 and 30 fathoms - “thirty”;
• 60 and 40 fathoms - “forty”.

They gave it the name “treasury tithe” and became the main Russian land.

Interpretation of this concept

Tithe is a Russian unit that has long been used for land area, which was leveled to 2400 square fathoms (about 1.09 hectares) and was used in Russia until the introduction of a special metric system.

Also, there is a date for the term “sazhen” - the Russian world of dovzhin, which is determined by the average size of a person’s body. So, for example, a small fathom - from the shoulder to the underside, and a braid - from the inner side of the foot of the left leg to the top point of the fingers of the raised right hand.

Facts from the history of this concept

Apparently, for example, the XV century. The land area was taken to be divided into two quarters. A tithe of land was such a geometric figure, like a square with sides equal to 1/10 of a verst (2500 sq. fathoms). In accordance with the boundary instructions dated 1753, the size of the land is up to 2400 square fathoms (1.0925 hectares).

Typology of the Old Russian world of the earth

From the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The tithe was also formed, the area of ​​which is represented by such species as:

1. Spit - 80 by 40 fathoms (3200 square meters).
2. Round - 60 by 60 fathoms (3600 squares).
3. Hundred - 100 per 100 fathoms (10,000 squares).
4. Tower - 80 by 10 fathoms (800 square meters) and in.

Then, after the end of the Yellow Revolution, it was necessary to transition to the metric system, following the decree of the RRFSR RNK, dated 14 June 1918, the world tithe was separated from the Vikoristan, and from 1 Spring 1927 the fence I started burning.

At the same time, in the past, only a few in the world lost their extensions at that time:

• inch (0.045 m);
• arshin (0.71 m);
• verst (1.06 km);
• fathom (2.13 m).

Let me remind you once again that a tithe of land equaled the transfer of 1.09 hectares to our units worldwide.

Another aspect of living is understood, what is seen

A tithe in Ancient Russia is another kind of gift that is collected for the benefit of the clergy, the ruler of the religious community. For this purpose, a special posad person, a ten-year official, was appointed to gather at the cathedras of bishops.

In that era, tithes were also districts of small size in dioceses, which were in the hands of certain high-ranking town councilors, and then in the priestly elders. In addition to them, in these districts, dozens of priests are blamed, who operate under the obligations of a high-ranking official. They were robbed from Moscow as early as the 18th century.

Similar to the term that looks

I can’t imagine once again what tithes in Ancient Russia were paid to by the Russian hordes in the era of the Tatar-Mongol yoke. The management system at that time was represented by such posads as foreman, centurion, thousand, prince. And this look evoked hundreds of deaths. As it became clear, this system has the same root word - foreman. This is a unique moment.

This word means election election, so that one candidate out of ten well-known ones, for example, villagers, is elected. These people were involved in the regulation of various food sources in the middle of this community and represented their interests within the village, hundreds, etc. They were assisted by other members of the community - the villagers.

This support is small as it is physical in nature - the practice of additional time in the reign of the foreman, and a kind of material - the transfer of part of one’s wealth. Thus, 1 tithe was equal to 10% of either the working hour or the harvest. This acted as its due contribution, as it was contributed by every member of the community, around the foreman himself, in the bedroom on the right.

Material form of tithe

These could include fruits, grains, vegetables, wine, and also creatures that were valued as the spirit of the earth. None of the money, as far as we can see, played the role of pennies, as it is written in the Law of Moses that all the creatures of the earth are due to the Lord. The pennies were valued inclusively for local purchases and never acted as a substitute equivalent.

Tithe is the sum of tribute given to creatures and gifts to the earth. It is not indicated anywhere in the Scriptures that banknotes or bank checks can be placed on the church tray, as is the case in current church regulations at various cathedrals.

Tithe: how much

Apparently, according to the biblical texts, Israel was commanded to sacrifice tithes for seven years. The bula is divided into three types. According to the Old Testament, the first tithe was transferred to the priests and Levites in the amount of 10 - 100% of the totality of the creation of the earth for the first six-fold cycle.

Another - was given to the saints and became 10 - 90% of the portion that was lost after the transfer of the tithe to the Levites. It was eaten before the Lord's face. This tithe was allocated only to the first, second, fourth and fifth rivers. The third was given to the poor in the range of 10 – 90%. This type of tribute was deposited including the third and sixth rivers. The same species are not transferred to the Somiy (Saturday) River.

Questions about asking: “A tithe – how much?” - Church ministers themselves are trying to tell the current aspect.

History of tithing in Christianity

First we sensed this from the Old Testament. This riddle lies in the context of the fact that all the gifts of the Earth belong to the Lord, and the destruction of the smallest part was regarded as an act of theft from God. The hungry believer could not be bothered by the thought of not paying tithes.

In the era of the Old Testament, there was no temple or church, through which Noah, Abel and other believers made sacrifices for the value of tithes from the middle of heaven. It was allowed for people's tribute to build a special altar where they could offer tribute to God.

However, after an hour the Lord gathered the people and specific people for the actual divine service and the procedure for collecting tithes. They all brought them without blame during the period of the misbelief of Moses three times to fate.

Thus, the tithe is a kind of help to the temple, which lies in the support of its activity, which served as a salary for the priests, as well as their assistants, who preach in the vicinity, and at the temple.

Such rituals were practiced until the coming of Jesus Christ and his crucifixion on Golgotha. After this kind of sacrifice, the ruin of the temple in Kalvaria began, and the Christians took away the tithes. However, you can make sure that you don’t kill anyone. However, in the absence of temples, tithes were still given, because they were an indispensable means for the secular life of both clergy and religion. The wona became not so much a means for ensuring a secure life, but rather a kind of symbol of faith and humility.

Tithes were collected for the priests and apostles who preached their sermons both in Jerusalem and throughout the world. To confirm the words of Jesus before the continuation of the laws about its election, which are located in the texts of the Old Testament, adherents of Christianity point out their proclamation: “Do not destroy those who have come, otherwise you will be viconated.”

Significance of the number 10 in Christianity

It expresses a kind of thoroughness in accordance with the divine harmony and appears as the third number for the sacred lantern - 3, 7, 10. The number “ten” indicates the number of days that the new cycle has been completed. And given what is seen, it determines the very steps, how necessary.

Pislyamova

Having summed up everything in the financial system, one can see three main meanings of the term, which can be seen, broadly speaking:

1. The church tithe was a tenth of the total income, which was acquired by church regulations for the population. In Ancient Russia, it was established by Prince Volodymyr the Holy after the Great and assigned to Kiev, and as a result, there was a barrage of taxes everywhere, which was collected by various religious organizations, including the monastery iv.

2. He served the church district in Russia with tithes, the singing part of the diocese at the beginning of the 18th century. On the floor stood a man who was holding a special seat - the foreman. Since the beginning of 1551, these functions have often migrated to tens of priests and priestly elders.

3. A tithe of land - the old Russian world is equal to a plot of land. At the end of the 15th century, it was initially covered in two quarters and had a small square appearance, the sides of which were 0.1 verst (2500 sq. fathoms). This year, according to the boundary regulations dating back to 1753, the land area, as seen, was equal to 2,400 square fathoms (1.0925 hectares).

If there is an urgent need for this biblical law to be implemented before the tithe, then every believer decides for himself whether or not he will be given a better look at this tribute in any size.
