30 ‘Now (A)all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lords; it is holy to the Lord. 31 If, therefore, someone should ever want to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it a fifth of it. 32 For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever (B)passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord. 33 (C)He is not to be concerned whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; yet if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”

22 “You (A)shall certainly tithe all the produce from [a]what you sow, which comes from the field every year. 23 You shall eat in the presence of the Lord your God, (B)at the place where He chooses to establish His name, the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and your flock, so that you may (C)learn to fear the Lord your God always. 24 But if the [b]distance is so great for you that you are not able to [c]bring the tithe, since the place where the Lord your God chooses (D)to set His name is too far away from you when the Lord your God blesses you, 25 then you shall [d]exchange it for money, and bind the money in your hand and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses. 26 And you may spend the money on whatever your [e]heart desires: on oxen, sheep, wine, other strong drink, or whatever your [f]heart [g]desires; and (E)there you shall eat in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27 Also you shall not neglect (F)the Levite who is in your [h]town, (G)for he has no portion or inheritance among you.

28 (H)At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in that year, and you shall deposit it in your [i]town. 29 And the Levite, (I)because he has no portion or inheritance among you, and (J)the stranger, the [j]orphan, and the widow who are in your [k]town, shall come and (K)eat and be satisfied, in order that (L)the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
