Deuteronomy 26:12

Deu 26:12 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, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;

Ver. 12. The stranger, the fatherless. ] Thus God doth not only plead the poor man’s cause; Deu 15:10-11 but he allots a portion of the third year’s tithe, not only to the Levite, who is never excluded, but to the stranger, fatherless, and widow, as Jerome observeth and calleth it πτωκοδεκαδη , the poor man’s tithe.
