In the New Testament context, it is used to describe the practice of giving a portion of one's earnings or harvest to God, typically for the support of religious leaders and the work of the ministry.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Tithing has its roots in the Old Testament, where it was established as a law for the Israelites. The practice was a way to acknowledge God's provision and sovereignty, and it supported the Levitical priesthood and the temple services. In the New Testament, while the specific legal requirement of tithing is not emphasized, the principle of generous and sacrificial giving is upheld. Tithing was a common practice among the Jewish people during the time of Jesus and the early church.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 1183</b> <i>dekatóō</i>– to tithe. <a href="/greek/1181.htm">See 1181</a> (<i>dekátē</i>). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1181.htm">dekaté</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to collect tithes<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>collected a tenth (1), paid tithes (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1183: δεκατόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δεκατόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">δεκάτῳ</span>: perfect <span class="greek2">δεδεκάτωκα</span>; perfect passive <span class="greek2">δεδεκατωμαι</span>; (<span class="greek2">δέκατος</span>); <span class="accented">to exact or receive the tenth part</span> (for which Greek writers use <span class="greek2">δεκατεύω</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 24)): with the accusative of person from whom, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-6.htm">Hebrews 7:6</a> (on the perfect cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 40, 4 a.; <span class="abbreviation">Lightfoot</span> St. Clement, Appendix, p. 414); passive <span class="accented">to pay tithes</span> (<span class="manuref">Vulg.</span><span class="latin">decimor</span>): <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-9.htm">Hebrews 7:9</a>.
