¹⁷ You must not eat in your own towns the tithe^(A) of your grain and new wine and olive oil,^(B) or the firstborn of your herds and flocks, or whatever you have vowed to give,^(C) or your freewill offerings or special gifts.^(D)

¹⁸ Instead, you are to eat^(A) them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place the Lord your God will choose^(B)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites from your towns—and you are to rejoice^(C) before the Lord your God in everything you put your hand to.
