The Gemara asks: anywhere that the Torah wrote the word kol isn’t it an amplification? But with regard to second tithe, the word kol is written in the verse:

“And you shall bestow the money for whatever [bekhol] your soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you”(Deuteronomy 14:26)?
