Within your gates you must not eat the tithe of your grain

on Deuteronomy 12:17-19

The concession stops at the tithe of grain, new wine and oil, the firstborn, the vows and the freewill offerings. These keep their old destination, and verse 19 makes the Levite a standing duty “as long as you live in your land”.
