22You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields.
“Thou shalt truly tithe all thy increase of thy seed that the field bringeth forth year by year.”
“Thou shalt truly or surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.”
“You shall tithe all the yield of your seed, which comes forth from the field year by year”
23And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
“And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose to place his name there. The tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks, that thou mayest…”
“And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God in the place which He shall choose to place His name there, at the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, of thine oil, and of the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks, that thou mayest…”
24But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to put His Name is too far away,
“And if the way is too long for you so that you are not able to bring the tithe when the Lord your God blesses you because the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses to set his name there”
“And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee,”
25then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.
“then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses”
26Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with your household.
“And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth. And thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou…”
“and spend the money for whatever you desire, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves and you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice you in your household”
27And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
“And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him, for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.”
“and you shall not forsake the Levite who is within your towns for he has no portion or inheritance with you”
28At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and lay it up within your gates.
“At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates.”
“the end of every three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns”
“At the end of three years. Thou shalt bring. All the tithe of thine. Increase. The same amount. And shall lay it up. Within thy gates.”
29Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.
“And the Levite, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow which are within thy gates shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied that the Lord thy God may bless thee in…”
“and the Levite because he has no portion or inheritance with you and the sojourners and the fatherless and the widow who are within your towns shall come and eat and be filled that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work…”
“the Levite. He has no part. Nor inheritance. With thee. And the stranger. And the fatherless. And the widow. Which are within thy gates. Shall come. And shall eat. And be satisfied. And the Lord. Thy God. May bless thee. In all…”
