Ulangan 26:12

Presentation of the Third-year Tithe

26:12 When you finish tithing all ¹  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 ²  so that they may eat to their satisfaction in your villages. ³ 

Ulangan 14:29

14:29 Then the Levites (because they have no allotment or inheritance with you), the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows of your villages may come and eat their fill so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work you do.

Ulangan 24:19-21

24:19 Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and leave some unraked grain there, ⁴  you must not return to get it; it should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow so that the Lord your God may bless all the work you do. ⁵  24:20 When you beat your olive tree you must not repeat the procedure; ⁶  the remaining olives belong to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow. 24:21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard you must not do so a second time; ⁷  they should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow.

[26:12]  ¹ tn Heb includes “the tithes of.” This has not been included in the translation to avoid redundancy.

[26:12]  ² tn The terms “Levite, resident foreigner, orphan, and widow” are collective singulars in the Hebrew text (also in v. 13).

[26:12]  ³ tn Heb “gates.”

[24:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “in the field.”

[24:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “of your hands.” This law was later applied in the story of Ruth who, as a poor widow, was allowed by generous Boaz to glean in his fields (Ruth 2:1-13).

[24:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “knock down after you.”

[24:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “glean after you.”
