Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for the concept of tithing is Strong's G1183 • δεκατόω (dekatóō), which also means to tithe or to give a tenth. This term appears in the New Testament, notably in Hebrews 7:5-9, where the practice of tithing is discussed in the context of Melchizedek and the Levitical priesthood, drawing a parallel to the superiority of Christ's priesthood. Usage: The verb עָשַׂר (ʿāsar) is used in the context of tithing, which involves giving a tenth of one's income or produce as an offering, typically to support religious institutions or the needy. This practice is rooted in the Mosaic Law and is a significant aspect of Israelite worship and community life. Context: The Hebrew verb עָשַׂר (ʿāsar) is primarily associated with the practice of tithing, a key element in the religious and social structure of ancient Israel. Tithing is first mentioned in Genesis 14:20, where Abram gives a tenth of everything to Melchizedek, the king of Salem. The practice is further codified in the Mosaic Law, as seen in Leviticus 27:30-32, where the Israelites are commanded to set aside a tenth of their produce and livestock as holy to the LORD.
