Christless religion always tends towards legalism and inconsistency. Jesus had previously rebuked the Pharisees for being blind guides (Matthew 23:16), unable to help others see the truth because they did not understand it. The issue in these verses is tithing – giving one tenth of what came into the home for God to use. In particular they seized on the herbs and spices (Leviticus 27:30).
