The tithe from the land refers to agricultural produce, which was the primary source of sustenance and economy in ancient Israel. This practice underscores the principle of acknowledging God's provision and sovereignty over the land. whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees
This phrase specifies that the tithe includes all agricultural produce, both grains and fruits. In an agrarian society, these were essential for survival and trade. The inclusion of both seed and fruit indicates the comprehensive nature of the tithe, ensuring that all aspects of agricultural production are recognized as gifts from God. This reflects the broader biblical theme of stewardship, where humans are caretakers of God's creation (Genesis 2:15). belongs to the LORD
The tithe is not merely a gift but a recognition that everything ultimately belongs to God (Psalm 24:1). By giving a portion back, the Israelites acknowledged God's ownership and their dependence on Him. This principle is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to give generously as an act of worship and trust in God's provision (2 Corinthians 9:7). it is holy to the LORD
The term "holy" signifies something set apart for a sacred purpose. The tithe is consecrated, indicating its special status and purpose in worship and community support. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness, where God's people and their offerings are set apart for His purposes (1 Peter 1:15-16). The tithe supported the Levites, who had no land inheritance, and facilitated the functioning of the tabernacle, highlighting the communal and worshipful aspects of giving.

Why are churches so focused on money when Jesus warned against greed?
Is tithing necessary for Christians?(30) And all the tithe of the land.--That is, of the soil, or what grows on it, in contradistinction to the tithes of the land mentioned in Leviticus 27:32. The last things mentioned which cannot be dedicated to the Lord by a vow are tithes. Like the firstborn of Animals (see Leviticus 27:26), they already belong to God by another statute. A man, therefore, cannot vow to God what is not his own. Whether of the seed of the land.--That is, what the seed when sown produced in the soil (Numbers 18:21-24;Deuteronomy 14:22-29). Verses 30-32. - Tithes, like the cherem, are introduced as things well known. Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek ( Genesis 14:20; Hebrews 7:4). Jacob vowed the tenth to the Lord ( Genesis 28:22), whence we see that the practice of the payment of tithes was not of Mosaic institution, but immemorial. The duty was, however, commanded afresh for the Israelites. "I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle" ( Numbers 18:21), and of this tithe they were to pay a tenth to the priests ( Numbers 18:26). Being already the Lord's, the tithe of the corn and fruits could not be vowed to the Lord, but it could be redeemed, or commuted, by the owner paying one-fifth more than the price at which it was valued.
