Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a heave-offering of it for Yahweh, a tithe of the tithe.

Giving From What You're Given

Commentators highlight that the Levites, who received tithes as their inheritance, were also required to give a tithe from what they received. Matthew Henry applies this universally, suggesting that when we honor God with a portion of our substance, we find true comfort and holiness in our possessions. This principle demonstrates that no one is exempt from giving back to God.
