What does Deuteronomy 14:23 mean?

Take that tenth to the place God chooses for his name, and eat it there—your grain, wine, oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks—so you'll learn to always respect and trust the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 14:23 - Modern Text Bible

(The tithe isn't just given away; it's brought to a special place and enjoyed in God's presence. The point is to keep God at the center of life and gratitude.)
