DEUTERONOMY 12:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:”
You must not eat in your own towns the tithe of your grain and new wine and olive oil, or the firstborn of your herds and flocks, or anything you have vowed to give, or your freewill offerings or special gifts — cultic offerings (tithes, firstborn, vows, freewill gifts) must be brought to the central sanctuary and eaten there, not locally. This reinforces the centralization theology.
