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.
