Belongs to God

“The tithe ... is the Lord's.” Here the same form of expression is employed as in the law of the Sabbath. “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” God reserved to Himself a specified portion of man's time and of his means, and no man could, without guilt, appropriate either for his own interests.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 525, 526.
