Verse 24 is found in chapter 14 of Deuteronomy. The tithe of agricultural produce and its consumption before the Lord teach recognition of God as the source of provision.

E se il cammino ti è troppo grande, sì che tu non possa portar quelle decime, per esser quel luogo, che il Signore Iddio tuo avrà scelto per mettervi il suo Nome, troppo lontano da te; perciocchè il Signore ti avrà benedetto;
E quando o caminho te for tão comprido que os não possas levar, por estar longe de ti o lugar que escolher o SENHOR teu Deus para ali pôr o seu nome, quando o SENHOR teu Deus te tiver abençoado;
當耶和華-你的上帝賜福給你的時候,耶和華-你上帝選擇立他名的地方若離你太遠,路途太長,使你不能把這東西帶到那裏去,
