Levite

When you finish tithing all your income in the third year (the year of tithing), you must give it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows so that they may eat to their satisfaction in your villages.

Then the Levites (because they have no allotment or inheritance with you), the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows of your villages may come and eat their fill so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work you do.

Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and leave some unraked grain there, you must not return to get it; it should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow so that the Lord your God may bless all the work you do.

If I have refused to give the poor what they desired, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

You are witnesses, and so is God, as to how holy and righteous and blameless our conduct was toward you who believe.

But whoever has the world's possessions and sees his fellow Christian in need and shuts off his compassion against him, how can the love of God reside in such a person?

Forgotten

I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have revived me.

My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
