Footnotes

16 Or “household” (so , , ); Heb “house” (so , ).
17 Heb includes “the tithes of.” This has not been included in the translation to avoid redundancy.
18 The terms “Levite, resident foreigner, orphan, and widow” are collective singulars in the Hebrew text (also in v. 13).
19 Heb “gates.”
20 Heb “the sacred thing.” The term הַקֹּדֶשׁ (haqqodesh) likely refers to an offering normally set apart for the Lord but, as a third-year tithe, given on this occasion to people in need. Sometimes this is translated as “the sacred portion” (cf. , , ), but that could sound to a modern reader as if a part of the house were being removed and given away.
21 Heb “according to all your commandment that you commanded me.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.
