In the New Testament, it is used to describe the practice of tithing, which was a common religious duty among the Israelites. Tithing was seen as an act of obedience and devotion, acknowledging God's provision and sovereignty.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, tithing was an integral part of the Mosaic Law. The Israelites were commanded to give a tenth of their produce, livestock, and income to support the Levitical priesthood, the temple, and the needy (Leviticus 27:30-32; Numbers 18:21-24; Deuteronomy 14:28-29). This practice was not only a religious obligation but also a means of ensuring social justice and community welfare. By the time of the New Testament, tithing was still practiced, though it had become a point of contention between Jesus and the Pharisees, who often emphasized the letter of the law over its spirit.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 586: ἀποδεκατεύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀποδεκατεύω</span></span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/18-12.htm">Luke 18:12</a>, for <span class="greek2">ἀποδεκατόω</span> which see; (cf. <span class="manuref">WH</span>s Appendix, p. 171). <p><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 586: ἀποδεκατόω</span><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀποδεκατόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀποδεκατῶ</span>, infinitive present <span class="greek2">ἀποδεκατοιν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-5.htm">Hebrews 7:5</a> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (cf.
