Deu 14:24

Deu 14:24“If the [fn]distance is so great for you that you are not able to [fn]bring the tithe, since the place where the LORD your God chooses to set His name is too far away from you when the LORD your God blesses you,

Deu 14:25

Deu 14:25then you shall [fn]exchange it for money, and bind the money in your hand and go to the place which the LORD your God chooses.

Deu 14:26

Deu 14:26“You may spend the money for whatever your [fn]heart desires: for oxen, or sheep, or wine, or strong drink, or whatever your [fn]heart [fn]desires; and there you shall eat in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household.

Deu 14:27

Deu 14:27“Also you shall not neglect the Levite who is in your [fn]town, for he has no portion or inheritance among you.
