Deuteronomy 26:10-12

Contemporary English Version

After you say these things, place the basket in front of the Lord's altar and bow down to worship him.

¹¹ Then you and your family must celebrate by eating a meal at the place of worship to thank the Lord your God for giving you such a good harvest. And remember to invite the Levites and the foreigners who live in your town.

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.
