from his tenth-portion
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct with prefixed מִ ("from") and 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his"). |
| Rendering Rationale | מַעֲשֵׂר denotes a tenth part derived from the root meaning "ten." The construct form with prefixed מִ and 3ms suffix yields "from his tenth-portion," preserving the numerical-root sense and the possessive morphology. |
