Deuteronomy 26:13

Then you shall say before the Lord your God, “I have removed the sacred offering ¹  from my house and given it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows just as you have commanded me. ²  I have not violated or forgotten your commandments.

De 14:29; De 24:19-21; De 26:12; Job 31:16-20; Ps 18:21-24; Ps 26:1-3,6; Ps 119:93,139,141,153,176; Pr 3:1; Ac 24:16; 2Co 1:12; 2Co 11:31; 1Th 2:10; 1Jo 3:17-22

¹ tn Heb “the sacred thing.” The term הַקֹּדֶשׁ (haqqodesh) likely refers to an offering normally set apart for the Lord but, as a third-year tithe, given on this occasion to people in need. Sometimes this is translated as “the sacred portion” (cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV), but that could sound to a modern reader as if a part of the house were being removed and given away.

² tn Heb “according to all your commandment that you commanded me.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.
