A Tenth for the Lord
22 "Each year you are to set aside a tenth of all the produce grown in your fields. 23 You are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and fresh oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, in the presence of the Lord your God at the place where he chooses to have his name dwell, 14:23 Dt 12:11 so that you will always learn to fear 14:23 Dt 4:10; 6:2; 10:12; 17:19; 31:12–13; Jos 4:24; 24:14; 1Sm 12:14; 2Kg 17:25; Ps 15:4 the Lord your God. 26 You may spend the silver on anything you want: cattle, sheep, goats, wine, beer, or anything you desire. You are to feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice with your family.
28 "At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and store it within your city gates. 29 Then the Levite, who has no portion or inheritance among you, the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow within your city gates may come, eat, and be satisfied. 14:28–29 Dt 26:12 And the Lord your God will bless you in all the work of your hands that you do. 14:29 Dt 30:9
