31 Honor the Lord and respect the priests. Supply them with what you have been commanded to give: the first produce, the offering for sin, the shoulder of the sacrificial animal - all the required sacrifices and offerings.

32 Give your help to the poor, and the Lord will give you his perfect blessing.

33 Be generous to every living soul, and be gracious to the memory of the dead.

34 Show sympathy to those who have lost a loved one, and mourn with them.
