¹²“When you are finished giving a tithe,^m all of the tithe of your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, then you shall give to the Levite, to the alien, to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and they may be satisfied. ¹³And you shall say beforeⁿ Yahweh your God, ‘I have removed the sacred portion from the^o house and, moreover, I have given it to the Levite and to the alien and to the orphan and to the widow according to all your commandment that you commanded me; I have not transgressed any of your commandments, and I have not forgotten any of them. ¹⁴I have not eaten during my time of mourning, and I have not removed anything from it while being unclean, and I have not offered any of it^p to someone who has died. I have listened to the voice of Yahweh my God; I have done all that you commanded me to do. ¹⁵Look down from the dwelling place of your holiness, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land that you have given to us, as you swore to our ancestors,^q a land flowing with milk and honey.’
