Tobit 1:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ I alone would frequently make the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the festivals, in accordance with the everlasting decree prescribed for all Israel. I would hasten to Jerusalem with the firstfruits of the fields and the firstborn of the flocks, the tithes of the cattle, and the first shearings of the sheep. ⁷ I would present these to the priests, the sons of Aaron, at the altar. To the Levites who were ministering at Jerusalem I would likewise give the tithes of grain, wine, olive oil, pomegranates, figs, and other fruits. In addition, for six consecutive years I would prepare a second tithe in money and bring it each year to disburse in Jerusalem.

⁸ A third tithe I would distribute among orphans and widows as well as among the converts who were dwelling among the Israelites. Every third year when I brought this third tithe, we would consume it together in accordance with the decree prescribed in the law of Moses and with the commands of Deborah, the mother of my father Tobiel; for when my father died, I was left an orphan.
