Usage

The Greek word "dekatos" is used to denote the ordinal number "tenth." In the context of the Bible, it often refers to a portion or fraction, specifically a tithe, which is one-tenth of one's income or produce, given as an offering to God. This concept is rooted in the practice of tithing, a significant aspect of worship and obedience in both the Old and New Testaments.
