DEUTERONOMY 14:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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:”
Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there at the place the LORD your God will choose and rejoice — the tithe-money is used to purchase food for the covenant meal. The emphasis on rejoicing (the Hebrew simchah) emphasizes that the tithe-meal is occasion for joy.
