        DefinitionShort: to cause someone to pay a tenth

        Glosses: ['to collect tithes', 'to exact tithes from']

        Comments: In a number of languages there are problems involved in speaking of ‘a tenth,’ and accordingly there are difficulties in formulating expressions about ‘tithing.’ In some languages one may speak of ‘a tenth’ as ‘one part of ten parts’ or ‘one part together with nine parts.’ ‘To tithe’ may be rendered as ‘from ten parts to pay one part’ or ‘to pay one part and to keep nine parts.’

        DefinitionShort: to give a tenth of one’s income

        Glosses: ['to give a tenth', 'to tithe']

        Comments: In {S:05800700900024} it may be important to indicate clearly that it was not Levi himself who received the tenth but his descendants. Therefore, one may render the latter part of {S:05800700900024} as ‘Levi, whose descendants collect the tenth, also paid it.’
