⁴ You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the first wool from the shearing of your sheep,^(A)

²⁸ At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes^(A) of that year’s produce and store it in your towns,^{(B) 29} so that the Levites (who have no allotment^(C) or inheritance^(D) of their own) and the foreigners,^(E) the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied,^(F) and so that the Lord your God may bless^(G) you in all the work of your hands.

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^(E) them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place the Lord your God will choose^(F)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites from your towns—and you are to rejoice^(G) before the Lord your God in everything you put your hand to.
