What does Deuteronomy 12:19 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Deuteronomy
12:19
Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the
Levite
By withholding from him the tithes appointed for his maintenance;
or rather by neglecting to take him with him in order to partake
of the feast or entertainment before spoken of:
as long as thou livest upon the earth;
so that it was not one time only, but always; whenever he ate
these holy things before the Lord, as long as he lived, he was to
be careful he had the Levite with him, for a reason given, (
Deuteronomy 12:12 ) .
