[Sifrei Devarim 110:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/110:1)

(דברים יד כט) **וְהַגֵּר וְהַיָּתוֹם וְהָאַלְמָנָה אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ**, יָכוֹל בֵּין חֲסֵרִים וּבֵין שֶׁאֵין חֲסֵרִים? וְאַל תִּתְמַהּ, שֶׁהֲרֵי הוּא אוֹמֵר (דברים כד יז): ״וְלֹא תַחֲבֹל בֶּגֶד אַלְמָנָה״ – בֵּין עֲנִיָּה וּבֵין עֲשִׁירָה! תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר (ויקרא יט י): ״עָנִי״ – מַה עָנִי חָסֵר אַף כֻּלָּם חֲסֵרִים.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 14:29) "and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow that are in your gates": I might think (that they take poor-tithe) whether or not they are needy. And do not wonder about this, for it is written (*Ibid*. 24;17) "You shall not take as a pledge the garment of a widow" — whether rich or poor. It is, therefore, written (Vayikra 23:22) "To the poor man and to the stranger shall you leave them." Just as a poor man is needy, so, all (to take poor-tithe) must be needy.


###### Sifrei Devarim 110:2
[Sifrei Devarim 110:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/110:2)

יָכוֹל בֵּין בְּנֵי בְרִית וּבֵין שֶׁאֵינָם בְּנֵי בְרִית? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **לֵוִי**, מָה לֵוִי בֶּן בְּרִית – אַף כֻּלָּם בְּנֵי בְרִית.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
I might think (that they take poor-tithe) whether or not they are "children of the covenant"; it is, therefore, written (*Ibid*.) "and the Levite" — Just as the Levite is a "child of the covenant," so, all must be "children of the covenant."


###### Sifrei Devarim 110:3
[Sifrei Devarim 110:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/110:3)

**וְאָכְלוּ וְשָׂבֵעוּ** – תֵּן לָהֶם כְּדֵי שָׂבְעָם. מִכָּן אָמְרוּ (תוספתא פאה ד ב): אֵין פּוֹחֲתִים לֶעָנִי בַּגֹּרֶן מֵחֲצִי קַב חִטִּים אוֹ קַב שְׂעוֹרִים.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"and they shall eat and be sated": Give them enough to be sated — whence they ruled: The poor man is not to be given less in the threshing floor than a half *kav* of wheat or a *kav* of barley.


###### Sifrei Devarim 110:4
[Sifrei Devarim 110:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/110:4)

**בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ** – מְלַמֵּד שֶׁאֵין מוֹצִיאִים אוֹתוֹ מִן הָאָרֶץ לְחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"who are in your gates": We are hereby taught that we do not send the poor out (of Eretz Yisrael to earn a living.)
