AI overview

A tithe is a one-tenth contribution, historically required and paid in agricultural goods or other goods, that was given to religious organizations or collected as a tax by the government. Today, tithes are typically voluntary and paid in cash or through modern methods, and they remain important in many countries as a formal way to support national churches through tax systems.

Der Begriff Zehnt, Zehent, Zehnter, Zehend, der Zehnte (auch Kirchenzehnter; lateinisch decima [pars], „zehnter Teil“, mittelniederdeutsch teghede) oder Dezem (von lateinisch decem „zehn“) bezeichnet eine etwa zehnprozentige Steuer in Form von Geld oder Naturalien an eine geistliche (etwa Domkapitel, Pfarrkirche) oder eine weltliche (König, Grundherr) Institution. Eine solche Abgabe war bereits im Altertum in verschiedenen Kulturen nicht nur des Orients bekannt und über das Mittelalter bis in die frühe Neuzeit üblich.
