DEUTERONOMY 26:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.”
I have not eaten of it while in mourning; I have not removed any of it while I was unclean; and I have not offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the voice of the LORD my God; I have done everything you commanded me' — specific denials ensure the tithe was not profaned: not eaten in mourning (Levitical impurity), not handled while unclean, not given to the dead (pagan practice). The catalog of abstentions proves covenant-mindedness.
