12“13WhenH3588 you have finishedH3615 14payingH6237 allH3605 the titheH4643 of your increaseH8393 in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, the yearH8141 of tithingH4643, then you shall giveH5414 it to the LeviteH3881, to the strangerH1616, to the 15orphanH3490 and to the widowH490, that they may eatH398 in your 16townsH8179 and be satisfiedH7646. 13You shall sayH559 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your GodH430, ‘I have removedH1197 the sacredH6944 portion from my houseH1004, and alsoH1571 have givenH5414 it to the LeviteH3881 and the alienH1616, the 17orphanH3490 and the widowH490, according to allH3605 Your commandmentsH4687 whichH834 You have commandedH6680 me; 18I have not transgressedH5674 or forgottenH7911 anyH4480 of Your commandmentsH4687. 14I have not eatenH398 of it 19while mourningH205, norH3808 have I removedH1197 anyH4480 of it while I was uncleanH2931, norH3808 offeredH5414 anyH4480 of it to the deadH4191. I have listenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 my GodH430; I have doneH6213 according to allH3605 that You have commandedH6680 me. 1520LookH8259 downH8259 from Your holyH6944 habitationH4583, from heavenH8064, and blessH1288 Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and the groundH127 whichH834 You have givenH5414 us, 21a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, as You sworeH7650 to our fathersH1.’
