Tithing you shall tithe all the increase of your seed that the field yields year by year.

And you shall eat before Jehovah your God in the place which He shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn tofear Jehovah your God all your days.

And if the way is too long for you, so that you cannot carry it, because the place is too far from you which Jehovah your God shall choose to set His name there, when Jehovah your God shall bless you;

Then you shall give it for silver, and bind up the silver in your hand. And you shall go to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose.

And you shall pay the silver for whatever your soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for fermented drink, or for whatever your soul desires. And you shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.

And you shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

At the end of three years, even the same year, you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase, and shall lay it up within your gates.

And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the alien, and the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come and shall eat and be satisfied; sothat Jehovah your God may bless you in allthe work of your hand which you do.
