The first part of the chapter is an almost exact repeat of Leviticus 11 (including the list of various owls - sadly not accommodated in my summary).
There seems to be uncertainty among scholars as to whether the second part of the chapter refers to one tithe or to two. I've tried to preserve the ambiguity in the summary.
A promise....Upon giving the tithe V 29.... the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
These are the summaries of the book of Deuteronomy.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
