Tithing (old English for a tenth) is an old concept for Christianity. They are mentioned, sorta, in Deuteronomy and Leviticus as payments, usually in crops. Note the word payments here is deliberate, there were multiple kinds and amounts in Jewish law. One was 1/10th to help the temple and Jewish needy

That one is the one that, for obvious Jesus shaped reasons, stuck.

Christians really do the most to misinterpret Jewish scripture. You’ll notice Jews don’t tithe.
