Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 14:22

These words recall in general terms the command of the earlier legislation respecting tithes (compare Leviticus 27:30; Numbers 18:26), but refer more particularly to the second or festival tithe, which was an exclusively vegetable one. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 14:22-23

Deuteronomy 14:22-23. Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed There were three sorts of tithes to be paid from the people, besides those from the Levites to the priests; 1st, To the Levites for their maintenance, Leviticus 27:30-33; Numbers 18:21. These were to be eaten where they dwelt, (Numbers 14:31,) and therefore to be paid there. 2d, For the Lord’s feasts and sacrifices, to be eaten by the offerers at Jerusalem: these are here intended. 3d, Besides these two, there was to... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:22-29

Tithes (14:22-29)All Israelite families had to pay an annual tithe, amounting to one tenth of all their produce and animals, for the support of the Levites (see notes on Numbers 18:21-32). This tithe was at the same time an offering to God. The offerer therefore took it to the central place of worship where he presented it to God (and to the Levites) in a ceremonial meal. If the offerer lived so far from the tabernacle (or later the temple) that transporting his goods was a problem, he could... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 14:22

ON TITHING"Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which cometh forth from the field year by year. And thou shalt eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear Jehovah thy God always. And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 14:22

22-27. Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed—The dedication of a tenth part of the year's produce in everything was then a religious duty. It was to be brought as an offering to the sanctuary; and, where distance prevented its being taken in kind, it was by this statute convertible into money. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 14:22-29

The application of the tithe of produce 14:22-29There was a yearly tithe (Deuteronomy 14:22-27) and an additional three-year tithe (Deuteronomy 14:28-29) in Israel. The Israelites were to invite the Levites to the celebration at the tabernacle when the Israelites consumed the yearly tithe (Deuteronomy 14:23). They were also to invite the Levites and the needy to the third year celebration, every third and sixth year in the seven-year sabbatical cycle, which they held in each town (Deuteronomy... read more

Disfigurings for Mourning Forbidden. Clean and Unclean Meats specified1. Practices connected with idolatry: see on Leviticus 19:27, Leviticus 19:28.2. The foundation of the entire moral and ceremonial law is contained in this and the preceding verse. Israel is the people whom Jehovah has chosen and called His children. As such they must be holy: see intro. to Leviticus 17-26.3-20. On the law of clean and unclean beasts, see Leviticus 1:1 and notes. 5. The pygarg is probably a kind of antelope.... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 14:22

(22) Thou shalt truly tithe.—The Talmud and Jewish interpreters in general are agreed in the view that the tithe mentioned in this passage, both here and in Deuteronomy 14:28, and also the tithe described in Deuteronomy 26:12-15, are all one thing—“the second tithe;” and entirely distinct from the ordinary tithe assigned to the Levites for their subsistence in Numbers 18:21, and by them tithed again for the priests (Numbers 18:26).The tithe described in Numbers was called “the first tithe,” and... read more
