27 And as to the Levite who is in your towns,[a] you shall not neglect him, because there is not a plot of ground for him and an inheritance along with you.

28 “At the end of three years you shall bring out all of the tithe of your yield for that year, and you shall store it in your towns.[b] 29 And so the Levite may come, because there is no plot of ground for him or an inheritance with you, and the alien also may come and the orphan and the widow that are in your towns,[c] and they may eat their fill,[d] so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all of the work of your hand that you undertake.”
