Deuteronomy 14:24
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
KJV
Cum autem longior fuerit via, et locus quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, tibique benedixerit, nec potueris ad eum hæc cuncta portare,
Vulgate
καὶ ἀποδώσῃ αὐτὰ ἀργυρίου, καὶ λήμψῃ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν ταῖς χερσίν σου καὶ πορεύσῃ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἂν ἐκλέξηται Κύριος ὁ θεός σου αὐτόν·
LXX
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to set his name there, when Jehovah thy God shall bless thee;
ASV
וְ/כִֽי יִרְבֶּ֨ה מִמְּ/ךָ֜ הַ/דֶּ֗רֶךְ כִּ֣י לֹ֣א תוּכַ֘ל שְׂאֵת/וֹ֒ כִּֽי יִרְחַ֤ק מִמְּ/ךָ֙ הַ/מָּק֔וֹם אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִבְחַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔י/ךָ לָ/שׂ֥וּם שְׁמ֖/וֹ שָׁ֑ם כִּ֥י יְבָרֶכְ/ךָ֖ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽי/ךָ
