Deuteronomy 14:22-29

Tithes

22 aβ€œYou shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, byou shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, cand the firstborn of your herd and flock, dthat you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. 24And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because ethe place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, 25then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses 26and spend the money for whatever you desireβ€”oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And fyou shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27And you shall not neglect gthe Levite who is within your towns, for hhe has no portion or inheritance with you.

28 iβ€œAt the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. 29And the Levite, because jhe has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that kthe Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.
