THE MESSAGE
Make an offering of ten percent, a tithe, of all the produce which grows in your fields year after year. Bring this into the Presence of God , your God, at the place he designates for worship and there eat the tithe from your grain, wine, and oil and the firstborn from your herds and flocks. In this way you will learn to live in deep reverence before God , your God, as long as you live. But if the place God , your God, designates for worship is too far away and you can't carry your tithe that far, God , your God, will still bless you: exchange your tithe for money and take the money to the place God , your God, has chosen to be worshiped. Use the money to buy anything you want: cattle, sheep, wine, or beer—anything that looks good to you. You and your family can then feast in the Presence of God , your God, and have a good time.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
"You shall surely tithe all the produce from what you sow, which comes out of the field every year.

Contextual Overview

22 Tithing you shall tithe all the increase of your seed that the field yields year by year. 23 And you shall eat before Jehovah your God in the place which He shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn tofear Jehovah your God all your days. 24 And if the way is too long for you, so that you cannot carry it, because the place is too far from you which Jehovah your God shall choose to set His name there, when Jehovah your God shall bless you; 25 Then you shall give it for silver, and bind up the silver in your hand. And you shall go to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose. 26 And you shall pay the silver for whatever your soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for fermented drink, or for whatever your soul desires. And you shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household. 27 And you shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you. 28 At the end of three years, even the same year, you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase, and shall lay it up within your gates. 29 And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the alien, and the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come and shall eat and be satisfied; sothat Jehovah your God may bless you in allthe work of your hand which you do.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed,.... This was a different tithe from that which was made and given to the Levites, and out of which a tithe was taken and given to the priests, and which they only ate of; but this, as appears by the following verse, was what the owners themselves ate of, and so the tithing was left to be made by them themselves, and which they were to be sure to make, and to make it truly and faithfully:

that the field bringeth forth year by year; being ploughed and sowed yearly, the produce of it was to be tithed yearly; the Jewish writers t observe on this, that it must be what the earth produces, and is fit for food: and it must be thy seed, which is especially thine, and is not common, but has an owner, and this excludes mushrooms, &c. which thou sowest not, and therefore cannot be called thy seed.

t Ib. in Misn. Maaserot, c. 1. sect. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 14:22. Thou shalt truly tithe — Meaning the second tithe which themselves were to eat, Deuteronomy 14:23, for there was a first tithe that was given to the Levites, out of which they paid a tenth part to the priests, Numbers 18:24-28; Nehemiah 10:37-38. Then of that which remained, the owners separated a second tithe, which they ate before the Lord the first and second year; and in the third year it was given to the Levites and to the poor, Deuteronomy 14:28-29. In the fourth and fifth years it was eaten again by the owners, and in the sixth year was given to the poor. The seventh year was a Sabbath to the land, and then all things were common, Exodus 23:10-11, where see the notes, Exodus 23:11; Exodus 23:11, and see Ainsworth on this verse.
