Usage: The term "dekaté" refers to a tenth part or tithe, which is a portion of one's income or produce that is set aside as an offering to God. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the practice of giving a tenth of one's earnings or produce as a religious obligation or act of worship.

Cultural and Historical Background: The concept of tithing has its roots in the Old Testament, where it was established as a law for the Israelites. Tithes were given to support the Levitical priesthood, the temple, and the poor. This practice was a tangible expression of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's provision. In the New Testament, while the specific legal requirement of tithing is not emphasized, the principle of generous and sacrificial giving is upheld.
