Deuteronomy 14:22-23 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:22-29

Systematic provision for fellowship with God. From the arrangements about ordinary diet, we pass now to the minute directions about "eating before God." A tithe of the corn, the wine, and the oil, together with the firstlings of their flocks and herds, must be devoted to the purposes of fellowship. It is clear from this, then, that God designed a systematic storing of the tenth part of the Jewish income for the purposes of religion. If the Jew resided far from the tabernacle, then he was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:22-29

God's claim upon our money gains. In every province of human life God requires his proprietorship to be recognized. The seventh part of our time is hallowed for his service. The firstfruits of corn were to be devoted to religious uses. The firstborn in the household belonged to God, and was to be redeemed by substitution. And now, of all their yearly gains, one-tenth was claimed by God. I. THE GROUND OF GOD 'S CLAIM . His claim proceeds from his proprietorship. Towards the... read more

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

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

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 14:23

Ver. 23. That thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always— That is, that thou mayest be accustomed to the worship of the only true God; for that is sometimes the meaning of the word to learn. Thus the design of this and their other annual feasts was, to preserve them steadfast in their religion; for, by this solemn rite of eating and drinking together, in the presence of Jehovah, at the place of his public worship, they professed their adherence to the service of the true God, in... read more
