DEUTERONOMY 26:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;”
When you have finished paying all the tithe of your produce in the third year (which is the year of the tithe), giving it to the Levites, the aliens, the orphans, and the widows, so that they may eat their fill within your towns — the third-year tithe (as distinct from the annual tithe) is allocated entirely to the poor. Every three years, the community demonstrates covenant commitment through redistribution.
