THE MESSAGE
At the end of every third year, gather the tithe from all your produce of that year and put it aside in storage.

That way they'll have plenty to eat and God , your God, will bless you in all your work.

Contextual Overview

²² Put on one side a tenth of all the increase of your seed, produced year by year. ²³ And make a feast before the Lord your God, in the place which is to be marked out, where his name will be for ever, of the tenth part of your grain and your wine and your oil, and the first births of your herds and your flocks; so that you may have the fear of the Lord your God in your hearts at all times. ²⁴ And if the way is so long that you are not able to take these things to the place marked out by the Lord your God for his name, when he has given you his blessing, because it is far away from you; ²⁵ Then let these things be exchanged for money, and, taking the money in your hand, go to the place marked out by the Lord your God for himself; ²⁶ And with the money get whatever you have a desire for, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your soul's desire may be: and make a feast there before the Lord your God, and be glad, you and all your house; ²⁷ And give a thought to the Levite who is living among you, for he has no part or heritage in the land. ²⁸ At the end of every three years take a tenth part of all your increase for that year, and put it in store inside your walls: ²⁹ And the Levite, because he has no part or heritage in the land, and the man from a strange country, and the child who has no father, and the widow, who are living among you, will come and take food and have enough; and so the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the end: Deuteronomy 14:22, Deuteronomy 26:12-15, Amos 4:4

thou shalt bring: As the Levites had no inheritance, the Israelites were not to forget them, but truly tithe their increase. For their support, the Levites had:

1. The tenth of all the productions of the land.

2. Forty-eight cities, each forming a square of 4,000 cubits.

3. Two thousand cubits of ground round each city; total of land, 53,000 acres.

4. The first-fruits, and certain parts of all the animals killed in the land.

But though this was a very small proportion for a whole tribe that had consented to annihilate its political existence, that it might wait upon the service of God, yet, let it be considered, that what they possessed was the best of the land, and while it was slender remuneration for their services, yet their portion was such as rendered them independent, and kept them comfortable; so that they could wait on God, and labour in his work, without distraction.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year,.... This, according to Aben Ezra, was a third tithe, and did not excuse the second tithe; so says:

"I gave the third tithe to the repair of the temple,'' (Tobit 1:7)

as in one copy, but, according to another, to the stranger, fatherless, and widow, which better agrees with what follows; but the Jewish writers generally understand this as the same with the second tithe, which on the two first years from the sabbatical year was carried to Jerusalem, or money in lieu of it, with which provisions were bought and eaten there, but on the third year were eaten in their own cities with the poor, and in the stead of the other; so says Maimonides x, on the third and sixth years from the sabbatical year, after they have separated the first tithe they separate from what remains another tithe, and give it to the poor, and it is called the poor's tithe, and not on those two years is the second tithe, but the poor's tithe, as it is said, "at the end of three years", c. and still more expressly elsewhere y after they have separated the first tithe every year, they separate the second tithe, Deuteronomy 14:22 and on the third and sixth years they separate the poor's tithe instead of the second; and this was done, not at the latter end of the third year, but, as Aben Ezra interprets it, at the beginning; for the word used signifies an extremity, and the beginning of the year is one extremity of it as well as the latter end of it:

and lay it up within thy gates; not to be hoarded up, or to be sold at a proper time, but to be disposed and made use of as follows.

x Hilchot Mattanot. Anayim, c. 6. sect. 4. y In Maaser Sheni, c. 1. sect. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare the marginal references. The tithe thus directed in the third year to be dispensed in charity at home, was not paid in addition to that in other years bestowed on the sacred meals, but was substituted for it. The three years would count from the sabbatical year (see the next chapter), in which year there would of course be neither payment of tithe nor celebration of the feasts at the sanctuary. In the third year and sixth year of the septennial cycle the feasts would be superseded by the private hospitality enjoined in these verses.
