Deuteronomy 14:23-25

Expanded Bible

²³ Eat it in the presence of the Lord your God in the place where he chooses to ·be worshiped [^Lcause his name to dwell; ^CZion; 12:4–7]. Eat the ·tenth [tithe] of your grain, new wine, and oil, and eat the animals born first to your herds and flocks. Do this so that you will learn to ·respect [fear] the Lord your God ·always [^Levery day]. ²⁴ But if the place the Lord will choose to ·be worshiped [^Lset his name there] is too far away and he has blessed you so much you cannot carry a ·tenth [^Ttithe], ²⁵ exchange your ·one-tenth [^Ttithe] for silver. Then ·take [^Lgrasp in your hand] the silver with you to the place the Lord your God shall choose.
