Re: Leviticus 27:31 - 5%
One of the tithes was supposed to be taken to Jerusalem and consumed by the tither. If a person lived far away and didn't want to actually carry 10% of their animals and produce that long distance they could go to the priest and have their tithe valued and they could then take that amount to Jerusalem and buy that much food in Jerusalem to consume themselves and give to others.
There was a 5% fee for having converted the animals and or produce into currency.
The way I assume this would work is that if you had $100 worth of animals and food that you would then take $105 with you and buy that much food when you got to Jerusalem
