24 And if the way be too long, so as thou canst not bring them, because the place which the Lord thy God shall have chosen to set his name in, is too far from thee: and that the Lord thy God have blessed thee: 25 Then shalt thou make it into money, and take the money in thy hand, and repair to the place which the Lord thy GOD shall have chosen for himself. 26 And thou shalt give the money for whatsoever thy heart desireth; whether it be oxen or sheep, wine, or strange drink, or any other thing which thy heart liketh of. And there feed thou on it in the presence of the Lord thy God, and be merry both thou and thy household. 27 And thou shalt not forsake the Levite that is within thy gates: for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee. 28 At the three years end thou shalt gather together all the tithes of thine increase of that year, and lay it up within thy gates. 29 And then the Levite which hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and likewise the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow which are within thy gates, shall come and eat, and be refreshed, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands which thou doest.
