Deuteronomy 14:22–29

^22qThou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. ^23rAnd thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and ^sthe firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. ²⁴And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or ^tif the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee: ²⁵then shalt thou turn it into money, and ^ubind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: ²⁶and thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and ^wthou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine household, ²⁷and ^xthe Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for ^yhe hath no part nor inheritance with thee. ^28zAt the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: ^29zand the Levite, (because ^yhe hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that ^athe Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
