Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 14:28 Never forgotten by the Lord, the orphan, foreigner, and widow were remembered in a special way by the Israelites every three years by a tithe on all the year’s produce.

27 And do not neglect the Levites(A) living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.(B)

28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes(C) of that year’s produce and store it in your towns,(D) 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment(E) or inheritance(F) of their own) and the foreigners,(G) the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied,(H) and so that the Lord your God may bless(I) you in all the work of your hands.
