Sumpa ng Ikapu: Dagdag-Utos

Sumpa ng Ikapu: Dagdag-Utos

Yung nagdaragdag ng utos na perang ikapu nagkakasala sa salang pagdagdag ng utos sa mga Israelita.

“Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.” Deut 4:2

Wala kayong makikitang utos na pera ang ikapu sa Biblia.

Wala kayong makikitang utos na hindi sa Levita at kay Aaron ang ikapu.

Wala kayong makikitang utos na hindi ani o kawan ang iikapu.

Wala kayong makikitang utos kay Abraham na magikapu.

Wala kayong makikitang utos na mag-ikapu ang mga Kristiyano.

Kaya yung mga nagdag ng utos na magikapu ng pera sa simbahan dapat mag-repent.

Ang ikapung Biblical, letra por letrang sinabi sa AKLAT NG MGA UTOS NG DIOS SA ISRAEL. Ayon sa batas nila yung galing sa ani at galing sa kawan na dumaan sa tungkod, pero ang mga Levita ang kolektor hindi kung sino-sino lang.

A. EVERYTHING FROM THE LAND: GRAINS OR FRUITS

“A tithe of everything FROM THE LAND, whether GRAIN from the soil OR FRUIT from the trees, belongs to the LORD ; it is holy to the LORD.” (Lev. 27:30)

*Excluded are fish, money, etc.

B. ENTIRE HERD PASSING FROM THE SHEPHERD’S ROD

“The entire tithe of the herd and flock-every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod-will be holy to the LORD.” (Lev. 27:32)

**.Excluded are money, unclean animals, pets

C. THEY ARE ONLY FOR THE LEVITES AS THEIR INHERITANCE, THE TENT OF WHICH THEY WILL OFFER AND GIVE TO AARON’S HIGH PRIESTLY FAMILY LINE

The LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites. “I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the Tent of Meeting. From now on the Israelites must not go near the Tent of Meeting, or they will bear the consequences of their sin and will die. It is the Levites who are to do the work at the Tent of Meeting and bear the responsibility for offenses against it. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. They will receive no inheritance among the Israelites. Instead, I give to the Levites as their inheritance the tithes that the Israelites present as an offering to the LORD . That is why I said concerning them: ‘They will have no inheritance among the Israelites.’ ” The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the Levites and say to them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe I give you as your inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the LORD’s offering. Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress. In this way you also will present an offering to the LORD from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites. From these tithes you must give the LORD’s portion to Aaron the priest. You must present as the LORD’s portion the best and holiest part of everything given to you.’ “Say to the Levites: ‘When you present the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the product of the threshing floor or the winepress. You and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere, for it is your wages for your work at the Tent of Meeting. By presenting the best part of it you will not be guilty in this matter; then you will not defile the holy offerings of the Israelites, and you will not die.’ ” (Num 18:20-32)

D. TIMING: YEARLY EAT YOUR OWN TITHE; EVERY THREE YEARS SHARE TO THE LEVITES, POOR

(1) MONEY IS INVOLVED ONLY WHEN YOU ARE FAR OFF, BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY BACK TO EAT IT

“Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always. But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the LORD your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the LORD will choose to put his Name is so far away), then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice.” (Deut. 14:22-26)

(2) EVERY THREE YEARS SHARE WITH LEVITES AND THOSE IN NEED

“And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own. At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.” (Deut. 14:27-29)
