from Jewish history and tradition, whereas the link leads to a treatment of the
subject from a Christian perspective. I mention this because they're quite different.

Where in the NT did the apostles urge the people to pay tithes?
In the New Testament we are told of Abraham paying tithes to Melchisedec and we are also told that his descendants indirectly paid the tithes. The apostles did not urge people to do so. Tithes were paid so that the Levites could be sustained as they were no entitled to any piece of land but daily ministration in the temple. But the New testament has no Levite per say and the bible makes reference to an end of Aaron's priesthood giving way to the priesthood of Jesus Christ and many laws (including of tithes) were done away with Read Hebrews chapter 7 verse 12 (as well as chapters 6 up to 10)

What is an example of Christ's imputed righteousness?
One Biblical example of what this means is found in Hebrews 7:9-10, which says, "And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him." What the writer is saying is that when Abraham met Melchisedec, he paid him a tithe (tenth) of all he had received. Levi, Abraham's descendant who had not been born yet, was also credited for paying tithes to Melchisedec, because he was "in" Abraham. In the same way, Christ was sinless and died on the cross on our behalf so that through faith in Him, His righteous acts and sinlessness will also be credited to our account, as if we had always been righteous. This is what Paul calls being "in" Christ, the same way that Levi was "in" Abraham. This is what it means to be justified: Just as if I'd never sinned. Christ gives us His own righteousness. "For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5:21
