Footnotes
The failure to tithe created a cascade of consequences: those set apart to lead worship were forced to abandon their calling to survive. The Levites had no inheritance of land (Num. 18:24); their "field" was leased or borrowed ground. This systemic collapse illustrates how covenant unfaithfulness is never merely private—it dismantles the entire infrastructure of communal worship and those sustained by it.
