Deuteronomy 14-17, Psalm 64

There is a beautiful picture on display in the act of bringing a tenth of your produce to the Lord as an offering. The instructions given to Israel are that they should bring the tenth to where the Lord resides and have a feast in the presence of God. So get this: God provides all the food as a gift, the Israelite brings some of it back to supply the party, and then in a way the Israelite and God feast together at the same table. Who would turn aside from this God? And friends, one day, we, too, will feast with our heavenly Father. Moses also gives instructions on cancelling debts, lending to the poor, releasing slaves, celebrating festivals, appointing judges and trying cases.
