Deuteronomy 14:20-22
New Catholic Bible
20 but you can eat any type of clean bird.
21 Do not eat anything that died on its own. You can give it to a foreigner who is living in your town, and he can eat it, or you can sell it to a foreigner. But you are a people who are holy to the Lord, your God. You shall not eat a kid goat boiled in its mother’s milk.[a]
22 Tithes.[b]Each year you are to tithe the yield of your seed that has grown in the field.

- Deuteronomy 14:22 This description of a tithe is different from that given in Num 18:21-24 and probably replaced the earlier law.
