   offering:  A presentation made to a deity as an act of religious   
              worship or sacrifice; an oblation.   
      
   tithe: a levy of one tenth of something, or, an offering of a tenth   
          part of some personal income   
      
   (source:  dictionary.com)   
      
      
   Nowhere in Genesis 4 does it state that a tenth was given by Cain   
   or Abel.
