32’For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD.

Leviticus 27:32

Who is the tenth? Rod means discipline right? How?
 
Leviticus 27:32 from the Haydock Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. Rod; on which was some red colouring, to mark the tenth animal as it passed through a narrow gate. If it was proper for sacrifice, its blood was poured out around the altar, and its flesh was returned to the giver. If it could not be offered in sacrifice, it was slain. The priest received none of the victim, no more than the paschal lamb. (Outram, sac. i. 11.) But a feast was made of flesh for the person’s friends, and he gave a portion to the poor and to the Levites. — The Lord, as a sacrifice of thanksgiving, in which the greatest part of the victim is consumed by the person who offers it. The priests have but a small share, chap. iii. (Calmet)
 
I wonder if it is also what we are called to do with “tithing”
One out of ten dollars… 10% should be offered or given to the church.

Leviticus 27:30, Number 18:26, Deuteromony 14:24, II Chronicles, and I Corinthians 16:1-2 I believe all talk about 10% of everything or income.
