22 “You (A)shall certainly tithe all the produce from [a]what you sow, which comes from the field every year. 23 You shall eat in the presence of the Lord your God, (B)at the place where He chooses to establish His name, the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and your flock, so that you may (C)learn to fear the Lord your God always. 24 But if the [b]distance is so great for you that you are not able to [c]bring the tithe, since the place where the Lord your God chooses (D)to set His name is too far away from you when the Lord your God blesses you, 25 then you shall [d]exchange it for money, and bind the money in your hand and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses. 26 And you may spend the money on whatever your [e]heart desires: on oxen, sheep, wine, other strong drink, or whatever your [f]heart [g]desires; and (E)there you shall eat in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27 Also you shall not neglect (F)the Levite who is in your [h]town, (G)for he has no portion or inheritance among you.

28 (H)At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in that year, and you shall deposit it in your [i]town. 29 And the Levite, (I)because he has no portion or inheritance among you, and (J)the stranger, the [j]orphan, and the widow who are in your [k]town, shall come and (K)eat and be satisfied, in order that (L)the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

Regulations concerning Tithes

22 “Set apart a tithe of all the yield of your seed that is brought in yearly from the field.(A) 23 In the presence of the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose as a dwelling for his name, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, your wine, and your oil, as well as the firstlings of your herd and flock, so that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.(B) 24 But if, when the Lord your God has blessed you, the distance is so great that you are unable to transport it, because the place where the Lord your God will choose to set his name is too far away from you,(C) 25 then you may turn it into money. With the money secure in hand, go to the place that the Lord your God will choose; 26 spend the money for whatever you wish: oxen, sheep, wine, strong drink, or whatever you desire. And you shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your household rejoicing together.(D) 27 As for the Levites resident in your towns, do not neglect them, because they have no allotment or inheritance with you.(E)

28 “Every third year you shall bring out the full tithe of your produce for that year and store it within your towns;(F) 29 the Levites, because they have no allotment or inheritance with you, as well as the resident aliens, the orphans, and the widows in your towns, may come and eat their fill so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work that you undertake.(G)
