Tithes, applying OT cult rituals and customs to the church "Body of Christ" of God.

1) First mention
    A) Melchizedek Gen 14:17-24; Psalm 110:4-7
         vs. 20 "and "he" gave "him" a tithe of everything... Most English versions add "Abraham
         gave him" but in the Hebrew context he is Melchizedek!(1)
         archeological dig in xx has found that there was a Canaanite diety called (ʾēl ʿelyôn,
         Gen 14:18) ‘priest of God Most High’ (1b)
         Who was Melchizedek (2)
              NT King of Peace Preist; MLK "king" 
              ...also "malk" in Semitic,  a Canaan god
              and "my king is Tsedeq," a Canaan god
         Application derived from Hebrews 7
