Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g1183 Greek: dekatoo

Tithe (Verb):

from dekatos, "tenth," in the Active Voice denotes "to take tithes of," Hbr 7:6, RV, "hath taken (AV, received) tithes;" in the Passive, "to pay tithes," Hbr 7:9, RV, "hath paid (AV, 'payed') tithes." In the Sept., Neh 10:37.

2 Strong's Number: g586 Greek: apodekatoo

Tithe (Verb):

denotes

(a) "to tithe" (apo, "from," dekatos, "tenth"), Mat 23:23 (AV, "pay tithe of"); Luk 11:42; in Luk 18:12 (where the best texts have the alternative form apodekateuo), "I give tithes;"

(b) "to exact tithes" from Hbr 7:5.

3 Strong's Number: g586 Greek: apodekateuo

Tithe (Verb):

"to give tithes," in Luk 18:12 (some texts have No. 2).

Note: Hbr 7:4-9 shows the superiority of the Melchizedek priesthood to the Levitical, in that

(1) Abraham, the ancestor of the Levites, paid "tithes" to Melchizedek (Gen 14:20);

(2) Melchizedek, whose genealogy is outside that of the Levites, took "tithes" of Abraham, the recipient himself of the Divine promises;

(3) whereas death is the natural lot of those who receive "tithes," the death of Melchizedek is not recorded;

(4) the Levites who received "tithes" virtually paid them through Abraham to Melchizedek.
