Just as a general observation, you are seeing tithes where there are no tithes, and you are not seeing the details of tithing, where they are plainly stated. You are assuming, perhaps that firstfruits are tithes. They are not. One of the distinctions between firstfruits and tithes were the route that they followed. Tithes were given to the Levites (in the case of the Levitical tithe of course) and the Levites tithed of the tithes to the priests. The firstfruits were given directly to the priests.
In the case of the Levitical tithe, the priests only received a tenth of the Levitical tithe.
