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: (14:24)

Then shalt thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: (14:25)

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 shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, (14:26)

And the Levite that [is] within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee (14:27)

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: (14:28)

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 all the work of thine hand which thou doest (14:29)
