7. TITHING:
Tithing is collected by and received by the Bishops. CDC and Serek scrolls, and in the case of Abraham, as can be seen from the Genesis Apocryphon (22:17): "And he (Abraham) gave him (Melchizedek) a tithe of all the goods of the King of Elam and his companions". FITZMYER p. 239. Josephus says: "Abram then offered him the tithe of the spoil, and he accepted the gift."). The Tithe was paid to Melchizedek. p. 239. As noted elsewhere, the bishops of the camps collected tithes.
