Deuteronomy 26:12-15
1599 Geneva Bible
12 ¶ 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, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be satisfied,
13 Then thou shalt [a]say before the Lord thy God, I have brought the hallowed thing out of mine house, and also have given it to the Levites and to the strangers, to the fatherless and to the widow, according to all thy (A)commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have [b]transgressed none of the commandments, nor forgotten them,
14 I have not eaten thereof in my [c]mourning, nor suffered ought to perish [d]through uncleanness, nor given ought thereof for the dead, but have hearkened unto the voice of the Lord my God: I have done [e]after all that thou hast commanded me.
15 Look down from thine holy habitation, even from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us (as thou swarest unto our fathers) the land that floweth with milk and honey.
