My question has nothing to do with some trying to teach the extra 5% (half-shekel), which we have discussed in the past.
Just wanted the context of this particular verse. "Ought" means "part" in Hebrew.

That's the Law.

Are you saying that you agree with her original assertion of what these scriptures mean?

I tend to agree with Prax somewhat on this one.
However, I believe it is the Law which governed an ancient agrarian culture. I don't believe it's applicable for today. We are not under the Law. We are free from the Law through Jesus Christ.

I was going to ask you to elaborate, but after your last post - nevermind.

The "fifth part" is 20% and not 5%. 20% is a fifth of 100%.
And yes, under the OT Law, any tithe that was "redeemed" for personal use was to be restored to the Levitical caste with 20% interest.

First... agreed on the 20%.
Second... where do you garner your interpretation above from?

I thought someone pointed that out to me years ago, but I forgot about it.
So, are you saying that Lev. 27:31 is not talking about getting the value of their property, turning it into cash, paying the extra and giving it in Jerusalem?

No, under the OT Law, one needn't "turn it into cash" and then pay with coin (the equivalent of cash) at the Temple in Jerusalem ( Leviticus 27:10). Though, verse 10 appears to be referring to swapping one animal for the other, and so forth. Still, in the OT, tithes were generally paid "in kind." That is, from whatever one reaped or harvested, a tenth was separated as "holy" and presented to the Levites (not always at Jerusalem).
The animal sacrifices were later to be all done at Jerusalem, though even this wasn't always observed and would often prove to be too impractical for many folks.
But back to your question, the tithe was paid "in kind" and the "fifth part" that was added was paid "in kind" as well, though obviously everything was open to barter and negotiation to achieve a practical result.
