You shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27 And do not neglect the Levite living in your towns, for he has no portion or inheritance with you. 28 At the end of every three years, bring out a tenth of all your produce for that year and store it within your towns. 29 Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance with you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
