Deuteronomy 14:27-29

Expanded Bible

²⁷ Do not ·forget [^Labandon; forsake] the Levites in your ·town [^Lgates], because they have no land of their own among you.

²⁸ At the end of every third year, everyone should bring ·one-tenth [^Ta tithe] of that year’s crop and store it in your ·towns [^Lgates]. ²⁹ This is for the Levites so they may eat and be full. (They have no ·land of their own [^Lallotment or inheritance] among you.) It is also for ·strangers [foreigners; resident aliens], orphans, and widows who live in your ·towns [^Lgates] so that all of them may eat and be full. Then the Lord your God will bless you and all the work ·you do [^Lof your hands that you do].
