Deuteronomy26:12

12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase, the third year, which is the year of tithing , and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled:

Of which see on Deut. 14. 28.

Heb. the year of that tithe, so called either 1. because these tithes were gathered onely in that year▪ Or rather 2. because then onely they were so bestowed or used; and whereas these second tithes for two years together were eaten onely by the owners and Levites, and that in Ierusalem in the third year they were eaten also by the strangers, fatherless and widows, and that in their own dwellings. The seventy joyn these words with the following, and for Shenath, the year, read Shenith, the second, and take Vau for redundant, as sometimes it is, and read the place thus, The second tithe thou s[illegible: 1+ letters]it give to the Levite, &c.
