Deuteronomy 14 · Grade 2
God's Holy People
Read the Story
Moses said, You are God's children. God chose you to be His own people.
God told them which food to eat. They could eat a cow, a sheep, or a goat. They could eat fish with fins and scales. Some animals and birds were not for them to eat.
Each year they gave a tenth of their grain, wine, and oil. They ate it before God and were glad. Every third year they shared it with the Levite, the person far from home, the child with no father, and the widow.
Memory Verse
