Deuteronomy 14:27 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 14:27

And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not
forsake him
As not from giving him the first tithe, as Jarchi remarks, so he was not to forget him in this; he was not to leave him behind, but take him with him to partake of this entertainment:

for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee in the land:
see ( Deuteronomy 12:12 ) .

Deuteronomy 14:27 In-Context

25 If so, exchange the tenth part of your income for silver. Take the silver with you, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.

26 Use the silver to buy whatever you want: cattle, sheep, goats, wine, liquor--whatever you choose. Then you and your family will eat and enjoy yourselves there in the presence of the LORD your God.

27 Never forget to take care of the Levites who live in your cities. They have no land of their own as you have.

28 At the end of every third year bring a tenth of that year's crop, and store it in your cities.

29 Foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your cities may come to eat all they want. The Levites may also come because they have no land of their own as you have. Then the LORD your God will bless you in whatever work you do.
