The Levites have no land of their own, so you must give them food from the storehouse. You must also give food to the poor who live in your town, including orphans, widows, and foreigners. If they have enough to eat, then the Lord your God will be pleased and make you successful in everything you do.
If any of your people become poor and unable to support themselves, you must help them, just as you are supposed to help foreigners who live among you.
