Presentation of the Third-year Tithe

26:12 When you finish tithing all ²  your income in the third year (the year of tithing), you must give it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows ³  so that they may eat to their satisfaction in your villages. ⁴ 

[27:30]  ¹ tn On the “tithe” system in Israel, see R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 2:1035-55 and esp. pp. 1041-42 on Lev 27:30-33.

[26:12]  ² tn Heb includes “the tithes of.” This has not been included in the translation to avoid redundancy.

[26:12]  ³ tn The terms “Levite, resident foreigner, orphan, and widow” are collective singulars in the Hebrew text (also in v. 13).

[26:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “gates.”
