the end

5.Mose 14:22
Du sollst alle Jahre den Zehnten absondern alles Ertrages deiner Saat, der aus deinem Acker kommt,

5.Mose 26:12-15
Wenn du alle Zehnten deines Einkommens zusammengebracht hast im dritten Jahr, das ist das Zehnten-Jahr, so sollst du dem Leviten, dem Fremdling, dem Waisen und der Witwe geben, daß sie essen in deinem Tor und satt werden.…

Amos 4:4
Ja, kommt her gen Beth-El und treibt Sünde, und gen Gilgal, daß ihr der Sünden viel macht, und bringt eure Opfer des Morgens und eure Zehnten des dritten Tages,

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.
