and a tenth-of

Rootעשר (ʿ-ś-r)
Core Meaningsten, tenth, counting by tens, giving a tenth portion
Semantic Rangea tenth part, tithe, obligatory tenth portion given from produce, livestock, or goods
Conceptual SignificanceThe "tenth" represents a consecrated portion set apart for YHWH, supporting the Levites and sacred service. It embodies covenantal acknowledgment that all increase comes from Him, with the tithe functioning as a tangible act of trust and obedience.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + masculine singular noun in construct state from מַעֲשֵׂר; construct form links the "tenth" to a subsequent genitive (e.g., produce, livestock).
Rendering RationaleThe noun מַעְשַׂר derives from the root עשר ("ten") and denotes a tenth portion. The morphology HC/Ncmsc indicates a masculine singular noun in construct with a prefixed conjunction ("and"), so the rendering "and a tenth-of" preserves both the numerical root sense and the construct relationship requiring a following noun.
