Deu 14:23 | MHM | STEP | vv. 23-26 : The second tithe was to be brought to the sanctuary and used for a holy feast before the Lord ( v. 23 ). If it was too difficult to carry the actual crops, they could sell them, bring the money, and buy food to eat at the sanctuary ( v. 24, 25 ). This celebration helped the people learn to fear and honor God and to enjoy being in His presence. They were also told to invite the Levites to share with them, remembering that the Levites had no land of their own ( v. 27 ). Rejoicing together in worship makes faith stronger and keeps the community united (Heb. 10:25 ).

‏ Deuteronomy 14:23

vv. 23-26: The second tithe was to be brought to the sanctuary and used for a holy feast before the Lord (v. 23 ^a). If it was too difficult to carry the actual crops, they could sell them, bring the money, and buy food to eat at the sanctuary (v. 24, 25 ^b). This celebration helped the people learn to fear and honor God and to enjoy being in His presence. They were also told to invite the Levites to share with them, remembering that the Levites had no land of their own (v. 27 ^c). Rejoicing together in worship makes faith stronger and keeps the community united (Heb. 10:25 ^d).
