Cattle tithe ()〔(Seadict.com )〕 is a commandment in the Torah requiring the sanctifying a tithe of cattle or flock to God, to be sacrificed as a ''Korban'' at the Temple in Jerusalem. The tithe of cattle was not redeemable; and if one beast was exchanged for another both became holy unto the Lord. The method of levying the tithe of cattle is indicated: they were counted singly; and every tenth one that passed under the rod became the tithe animal (Leviticus ). The Rabbis inferred from Deuteronomy that each tithe was to be taken of every year's produce separately, whether of crops, of cattle, or of anything else subject to tithing (''Sifre'', Deut. 105; ''Terumot'' i. 5;〔משנה תרומות א ה (in Hebrew)〕 ''Rosh Hashanah'' 8a,〔ראש השנה ח א (in Hebrew/Aramaic)〕 12b〔ראש השנה יב ב (in Hebrew/Aramaic)〕). Also they fixed a particular day to mark the beginning of the year for tithing. The new year for the tithing of cattle is the first of Elul according to Rabbi Meir, or the first of Tishrei according to R. Eleazar and R. Simeon (''Rosh Hashanah'' i. 1).〔 The Sages ordained that animals should not be tithed in the present era when the Temple is not standing. ==See also== *First tithe *Second tithe *Poor tithe 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cattle tithe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
