Numbers 18:30-31
So here we see that reward is salary; this is what I am giving you, your pay if you will; your reward for working in the service of the Temple. Deuteronomy 27 says that cursed is the (hitman) man who has been given a reward to kill someone. Deuteronomy 32 says that when God judges He will pay His enemies their reward. In Psalm 40, David prays for his enemies to receive the reward of desolation. Psalm 58 says the righteous will rejoice when they see God’s vengeance against the wicked so that a man will say, “Truly there is reward for righteousness.”
Numbers 18:25-32
In verse 27 where He talks about the Levites, I imagine this, along with Numbers 18:25-32 was the inspiration for Mr. Armstrong's decision to institute what we call "tithe of the tithe." Numbers 18:25-32 was a tithe that the Levites paid themselves, and it went, I believe, to the priests. I am not sure about that. I should have studied into it a little bit more, but it is called in the New King James "the tithe of the tithe." They received the tithes of the people, and then ten percent went to the priests.
