It is used in the context of material wealth and prosperity, often indicating an increase in possessions or financial status. The term can also imply the act of enriching someone else, either through direct action or as a result of divine blessing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, wealth was often seen as a sign of God's blessing and favor. The accumulation of riches was associated with wisdom, diligence, and divine providence. However, the Hebrew Scriptures also caution against the dangers of wealth, emphasizing the importance of using riches responsibly and maintaining a heart devoted to God. Wealth was not only a personal asset but also a means to support the community and fulfill religious obligations, such as tithing and offerings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/6235.htm">eser</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to take the tenth of, tithe<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>paying (1), receive the tithes (1), receive tithes (1), surely give (1), surely give a tenth (1), surely tithe (1), take a tenth (2).<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">עָשַׂר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>take the tenth of, tithe</b></font>; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">יַעְשׂר</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/8-15.htm">1 Samuel 8:15</a>,17 (with accusative of thing tithed). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pi`el</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em> + <em>Infinitive absolute give a tenth of</em>, with accusative of thing: 2 masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">עַשֵּׂר תְּעַשֵּׂר</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/14-22.htm">Deuteronomy 14:22</a>; 1singular <font class="hebrew2">עַשֵּׂר אֲעַשְּׂרֶנּוּ לָ֑ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/28-22.htm">Genesis 28:22</a> (P); <em>Participle taking the tenth</em>, <font class="hebrew2">הַמְעַשְּׂרִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/10-38.htm">Nehemiah 10:38</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Hiph`il</b></font> (so usually explained) <em>Infinitive</em> <font class="hebrew2">לַעְשֵׂר</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/26-12.htm">Deuteronomy 26:12</a> with accusative of congnate meaning with verb i.e. <em>taking, reckoning, tithe</em>, but Infinitive construct with <font class="hebrew2">ֵ֯</font> improbable, < read <font class="hebrew2">לְעַשֵּׂר</font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pi`el</b></font>; <font class="hebrew2">בַּעְשֵׂר</font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/10-39.htm">Nehemiah 10:39</a> absolute, i.e. <em>receiving tithes</em>, but read probably <font class="hebrew2">בַּעְשׂר</font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> (on anomalous points, see Ges<sup>§ 53k</sup> Dr<sup>Deuteronomy 26:12</sup>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>give the tenth, have, take tithing truly <p>A primitive root (ident.
