Intertextuality Pair

Deuteronomy 14:22 → Leviticus 27:30

Allusion

Later text

Deuteronomy 14:22BSB

You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields.

Earlier text

Leviticus 27:30BSB

Thus any tithe from the land, whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.

Significance

Leviticus 27:30 establishes the foundational tithe principle: "any tithe from the land" (כָּל מַעְשַׂר הָאָרֶץ) — from seed and fruit — is "holy to the LORD" (קֹדֶשׁ לַיהוָה). Deuteronomy 14:22 restates this as a command: "You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields." Where Leviticus simply declares divine ownership of the tenth, Deuteronomy prescribes the practical implementation: the tithe is to be consumed before the LORD at the central sanctuary as an act of joyful worship. The development from declarative ownership (Leviticus) to liturgical celebration (Deuteronomy) reflects the transition from tabernacle legislation to instructions for settled life in the promised land.

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — Leviticus 27:30's declaration that the tithe "belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD" is carried forward into practice for settled life: Deuteronomy 14:22 commands the yearly tenth and directs it to the place the LORD will choose, moving the principle from Sinai declaration to land-shaped liturgy.
