Deuteronomy 14:28,29

At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:

At the end of three years ... the Levite ... shall come ... The Levites having no inheritance like the other tribes, the Israelites were not to forget them, but honestly to tithe their increase. Besides the tenth of all the land produce, they had 48 cities, with the surrounding grounds, the best of the land," and a certain proportion of the sacrifices as their allotted perquisites. They had therefore, if not an affluent, yet a comfortable and independent, fund for their support.
