It seems obvious to me that it is because of Jacob's vow. I believe that vow is tied super close with the OT concept of tithing. They were literally giving a tenth of the promised land back to God. God never even initially commanded it; God promised to give him the promised land, and in response Jacob promised he would give a tenth of what God gave him. This was all related to the richness of the land, not money.
