'Tenth' in the Bible

On the tenth day Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai, leader of the Danites, presented an offering.

“Look, I have given the Levites every tenth in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the work of the tent of meeting.

For I have given them the tenth that the Israelites present to the Lord as a contribution for their inheritance. That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.”

“Speak to the Levites and tell them: When you receive from the Israelites the tenth that I have given you as your inheritance, you must present part of it as an offering to the Lord—a tenth of the tenth.

You are to present an offering to the Lord from every tenth you receive from the Israelites. Give some of it to Aaron the priest as an offering to the Lord.

You must present the entire offering due the Lord from all your gifts. The best part of the tenth is to be consecrated.

“Tell them further: Once you have presented the best part of the tenth, and it is credited to you Levites as the produce of the threshing floor or the winepress,

“You are to hold a sacred assembly on the tenth day of this seventh month and practice self-denial; you must not do any work.
