Deuteronomy 14:23

Deuteronomy 14:23 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 14:23

And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which
he shall choose to place his name there
See ( Deuteronomy 12:5 ) there the tithe of all the fruits of the earth was to be eaten; this is the second tithe, as the Targum of Jonathan, and so Jarchi, and which is more particularly described as follows:

the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil:
see ( Deuteronomy 12:7 ) (See Gill on Deuteronomy 12:7):

and the firstlings of thine herds, and of thy flocks;
of which see the note on the above place:

that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always;
which such a constant practice would inure unto; see ( Deuteronomy 10:12 ) .

Deuteronomy 14:23 In-Context

21 "You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the alien who is within your gates, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

22 "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.

23 And you shall eat before the Lord your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.

24 But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the Lord your God has blessed you,

25 then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses.
