If the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not
able to carry it, because the place is too far from the which the
LORD thy God hath chosen to set his name there (for the LORD thy
God hath blessed thee) then make it in money and take the money in
thine hand, and go unto the place which the LORD thy God hath
chosen, and bestow that money on whatsoever thy soul lusteth
after: on oxen, sheep, wine and good drink, and on whatsoever thy
soul desireth, and eat there before the LORD thy God and be merry:
both thou and thine household and the Levite that is in thy city.
See thou forsake not the Levite, for he hath neither part nor
inheritance with thee. At the end of three years, thou shalt bring
forth all the tithes of thine increase the same year and lay it up
within thine own city, and the Levite shall come because he hath
neither part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger and the
fatherless and the widow which are whithin thy city and shall eat
and fill them selves: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all
the works of thine hand which thou doest.
Chapter .xv.
At the end of seven years thou shalt make a free year. And this is
the manner of the free year, whosoever lendeth ought with his hand
unto his neighbour, may not ask again that which he hath lent, of
his neighbour or of his brother: because it is called the LORD's
{lordes} free year, yet of a stranger thou mayst call it home
again.
