Ten Percent of the Harvest

Moses said to Israel:

^12 (A) Every year you are to give ten percent of your harvest to the Lord.^[a] But every third year,^[b] this ten percent must be given to the poor who live in your town, including Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows. That way, they will have enough to eat.
