Qal Imperfect 3 masculine singular יַעְשׂר 1 Samuel 8:15,17 (with accusative of thing tithed).

Pi`el Imperfect + Infinitive absolute give a tenth of, with accusative of thing: 2 masculine singular עַשֵּׂר תְּעַשֵּׂר Deuteronomy 14:22; 1 singular עַשֵּׂר אֲעַשְּׂרֶנּוּ לָ֑ח Genesis 28:22 (P); Participle taking the tenth, הַמְעַשְּׂרִים Nehemiah 10:38.

Hiph`il (so usually explained) Infinitive לַעְשֵׂר Deuteronomy 26:12 with accusative of congnate meaning with verb i.e. taking, reckoning, tithe, but Infinitive construct with ֵ֯ improbable, < read לְעַשֵּׂר

Pi`el; בַּעְשֵׂר Nehemiah 10:39 absolute, i.e. receiving tithes, but read probably בַּעְשׂר

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

עָשַׂר fut. יַעְשׂר (denom. from עֶשֶׂר), followed by an acc. to decimate (zehnten), i.e. to take the tenth part of produce, to tithe, 1 Samuel 8:15, 17 1 Samuel 8:17.

Nehemiah 10:38, “and the tenth of our land (we give) to the Levites, וְהֵם הַלְוִיִּם הַמְעַשְׂרִים for these Levites (on the other hand) have to pay tithes.” Followed by acc. of the thing tithed, Deuteronomy 14:22 and a dative of the receiver, Genesis 28:22.

Hiphil like Piel, to give tithes, Deuteronomy 26:12; Nehemiah 10:39.
