Giving Tithes
22 The tenth part thou shalt separate of all thy fruits that spring in the earth every year,
23 and thou shalt eat in the sight of our Lord thy God in the place, which he shall choose, that his name may be invocated therein, the tithe of thy corn, and wine, and oil, and the first born of thy herds and sheep: that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God at all time.
24 But when the way, and the place which our Lord thy God shall choose, are far, and he hath blessed thee, and thou canst not carry all these things thither,
25 thou shalt sell, and bring all into a price, and shalt carry it in thy hand, and shalt go to the place, which our Lord thy God shall choose:
26 and thou shalt buy with the same money whatsoever pleaseth thee, either of herds, or of sheep, wine also and sicer, and all that thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat before our Lord thy God, and shall feast, thou and thy house:
27 and the Levite that is within thy gates, beware thou forsake him not, because he hath no other part in thy possession.
28 The third year thou shalt separate an other tenth of all things, that grow to thee at that time: and shalt lay it up within thy gates.
29 And the Levite shall come that hath no other part nor possession with thee, and the stranger and pupil and widow, that are within thy gates, and shall eat and be filled: that our Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands that thou shalt do.
