²²Be sure to save one-tenth of all your crops each year. ²³Take it to the place the Lord your God will choose where he is to be worshiped. There, where you will be together with the Lord, eat the tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and eat the animals born first to your herds and flocks. Do this so that you will learn to respect the Lord your God always. ²⁴But if the place the Lord will choose to be worshiped is too far away and he has blessed you so much you cannot carry a tenth, ²⁵exchange your one-tenth for silver. Then take the silver with you to the place the Lord your God shall choose. ²⁶Use the silver to buy anything you wish—cattle, sheep, wine, beer, or anything you wish. Then you and your family will eat and celebrate there before the Lord your God. ²⁷Do not forget the Levites in your town, because they have no land of their own among you.

²⁸At the end of every third year, everyone should bring one-tenth of that year’s crop and store it in your towns. ²⁹This is for the Levites so they may eat and be full. (They have no land of their own among you.) It is also for strangers, orphans, and widows who live in your towns so that all of them may eat and be full. Then the Lord your God will bless you and all the work you do.
