the end

5 Mosebok 14:22
Du skal gi tiende av all din avgrøde, av sæden som vokser på marken år for år.

5 Mosebok 26:12-15
Når du i det tredje år - tiendeåret - er blitt ferdig med å utrede hele tienden av din avling, og du har gitt levitten, den fremmede, den farløse og enken, så de kan ete sig mette hos dig i dine byer, …

Amos 4:4
Gå til Betel og synd, til Gilgal og synd til gagns, og bær hver morgen frem eders slaktoffer, hver tredje dag eders tiender,

1. The tenth of all the productions of the land

2. Forty-eight cities, each forming a square of

4000 cubits

3. Two thousand cubits of ground round each city; total of land,

53,000 acres.

4. The first-fruits, and certain parts of all the animals killed in the land. But though this was a very small proportion for a {whole tribe} that had consented to annihilate its {political existence}, that it might wait upon the service of God, yet, let it be considered, that what they possessed was {the best of the land}: and while it was slender remuneration for their services, yet their portion was such as rendered them independent, and kept them comfortable; so that they could wait on God, and labour in his work, without distraction.
