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.
