* "When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year--the year of tithing--and have given it to the Levite , the stranger , the fatherless , and the widow , so that they may eat within your gates and be filled , * then you shall say before the LORD your God : "I have removed the holy tithe from my house , and also have given them to the Levite , the stranger , the fatherless , and the widow , according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me ; I have not transgressed Your commandments , nor have I forgotten them . * I have not eaten any of it when in mourning , nor have I removed any of it for an unclean use , nor given any of it for the dead . I have obeyed the voice of the LORD my God , and have done according to all that You have commanded me . * Look down from Your holy habitation , from heaven , and bless Your people Israel and the land which You have given us , just as You swore to our fathers , "a land flowing with milk and honey ."'
