In the context of the Bible, it often refers to a portion or fraction, specifically a tithe, which is one-tenth of one's income or produce, given as an offering to God. This concept is rooted in the practice of tithing, a significant aspect of worship and obedience in both the Old and New Testaments.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, tithing was a commandment given to the Israelites as a way to support the Levitical priesthood, the poor, and the work of the temple (Leviticus 27:30-32, Numbers 18:21-24). The practice of giving a tenth was not unique to Israel; it was a common practice in various ancient cultures as a form of tribute or religious offering. In the New Testament, the principle of tithing is acknowledged, though the emphasis shifts towards generosity and the spirit of giving (Matthew 23:23, Hebrews 7:1-10).<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 1182</b> <i>dékatos</i> – tenth;
