Chapter and verse please.
I find no such evidence in the Bible.
The earliest actual mention of a tithe (tenth) is found in Genesis 14:18 - but the practice itself is considered to have it’s roots in Genesis 4, where Cain and Abel presented “offerings” to the Lord.
God obviously at some point instructed Adam and Eve to present offerings to Him. Abel’s offering was respected and Cain’s was not - apparently because Cain did not present either the correct amount, or he did so reluctantly.
Paul reiterates the scripture in Genesis 14 when describing the purpose of tithes in the church in Hebrews 7:2-4: “For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, meaning king of peace, without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.
“Abels offering was respected and Cains was not - apparently because Cain did not present either the correct amount, or he did so reluctantly.” Oh my, such ignorance! The Bible is its own best commentary. Paul, as one of seceral, explained why Cain’s offering was rejected ... pride ring a bell, atonement ring a bell? ... Probably not.

Read this:
"You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year. And you shall eat before the Lord your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the Lord your God has blessed you, then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses. And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household. You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you." Deut 14:22-27
