|
|
26. You may then exchange the money for whatever you desire, oxen or sheep, wine or strong drink, or anything else you would enjoy, and there before the LORD, your God, you shall partake of it and make merry with your family.
|
26. And thou shalt bestow H5414 that money H3701 for whatsoever H3605 H834 thy soul H5315 lusteth after H183 , for oxen H1241 , or for sheep H6629 , or for wine H3196 , or for strong drink H7941 , or for whatsoever H3605 H834 thy soul H5315 desireth H7592 : and thou shalt eat H398 there H8033 before H6440 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , and thou shalt rejoice H8055 , thou H859 , and thine household H1004 ,

|
|
28. "At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithes of your produce for that year and deposit them in community stores,
|
28. At the end H4480 H7097 of three H7969 years H8141 thou shalt bring forth H3318 H853 all H3605 the tithe H4643 of thine increase H8393 the same H1931 year H8141 , and shalt lay it up H5117 within thy gates H8179 :
|
|
29. that the Levite who has no share in the heritage with you, and also the alien, the orphan and the widow who belong to your community, may come and eat their fill; so that the LORD, your God, may bless you in all that you undertake.
|
29. And the Levite H3881 , ( because H3588 he hath no H369 part H2506 nor inheritance H5159 with H5973 thee,) and the stranger H1616 , and the fatherless H3490 , and the widow H490 , which H834 are within thy gates H8179 , shall come H935 , and shall eat H398 and be satisfied H7646 ; that H4616 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 may bless H1288 thee in all H3605 the work H4639 of thine hand H3027 which H834 thou doest H6213 .
