22 ^a“You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23 And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, ^byou shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, ^cand the firstborn of your herd and flock, ^dthat you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. 24 And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because ^ethe place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, 25 then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses 26 and spend the money for whatever you desire—oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And ^byou shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27 And you shall not neglect ^fthe Levite who is within your towns, for ^ghe has no portion or inheritance with you.

28 ^h“At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns.
