It is used in the context of giving a portion, specifically a tenth, of one's income or produce as an offering to God. This practice is rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where the tithe is seen as an acknowledgment of God's provision and sovereignty.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, tithing was an integral part of religious and communal life. It was a commandment given to the Israelites as part of the Mosaic Law, intended to support the Levitical priesthood, the poor, and the functioning of the temple. Tithing was not merely a financial obligation but a spiritual act of worship and trust in God's provision. The practice of tithing predates the Mosaic Law, as seen in the account of Abraham giving a tenth to Melchizedek (Genesis 14:20).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/6235.htm">eser</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>ten<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>12* (1), ten (4), twelve* (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">עֲשַׂר</font>, <font class="hebrew2">עַשְׂרָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> and <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a ten</b></font> (see Biblical Hebrew);
