Deuteronomy 14 — Context

24

And if the way is so long that you are not able to take these things to the place marked out by the Lord your God for his name, when he has given you his blessing, because it is far away from you;

25

Then let these things be exchanged for money, and, taking the money in your hand, go to the place marked out by the Lord your God for himself;

26

And with the money get whatever you have a desire for, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your soul's desire may be: and make a feast there before the Lord your God, and be glad, you and all your house;

27

And give a thought to the Levite who is living among you, for he has no part or heritage in the land.

28

At the end of every three years take a tenth part of all your increase for that year, and put it in store inside your walls:

29

And the Levite, because he has no part or heritage in the land, and the man from a strange country, and the child who has no father, and the widow, who are living among you, will come and take food and have enough; and so the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.
