This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year - Among the Hebrews there were two tithings. The first was appropriated to the Levites (Num 18:21). The second, being the tenth of what remained, was brought to Jerusalem in kind; or it was converted into money, and the owner, on arriving in the capital, purchased sheep, bread, and oil (Deu 14:22, Deu 14:23). This was done for two consecutive years. But this second tithing was eaten at home, and the third year distributed among the poor of the place (Deu 14:28, Deu 14:29).
