The literary device an author should use to tell a story or stories within a larger story is?

It seems to be called a Story within story, which is when a character within the lager story narrates a story of their own. I hope that wasn't to cofusing.It was all I could find.

the answer would be: it explains that at least one son must join the church

the expression ''as the tithe of his sons'' indicates how his father intended for at least one of his sons to serve the church. this phrase demonstrates that his father offered him as a last resort since none of his brothers chose to serve the church.

hope this answer you: )!
