First tithe
The first tithe (Hebrew ''ma'aser rishon'' מעשר ראשון) is a positive commandment in the Torah requiring the giving of one tenth of agricultural produce, after the giving of the standard ''terumah,'' to the Kohen (Jewish priest) (or Levite). This giving is required to be free of both monetary and servicial compensation.

The tithe gift is discussed in the Hebrew Bible (Numbers 18:21-26) according to which a tenth of the produce was to be presented to a Levite who then gave a tenth of the first tithe to a kohen (Numbers 18:26). Tithing was seen as performing a Mitzvah done in joyful obedience to God. Giving tithe would open oneself up to receipt of divine blessing〔Rashi to Parshat Nasso〕
