Komentaryo sa Deuteronomio 14:27: Rashi, Ibn Ezra, Rashbam & Chizkuni

וְהַלֵּוִ֥י אֲשֶׁר־בִּשְׁעָרֶ֖יךָ לֹ֣א תַֽעַזְבֶ֑נּוּ כִּ֣י אֵ֥ין ל֛וֹ חֵ֥לֶק וְנַחֲלָ֖ה עִמָּֽךְ׃ (ס)

At ang Levita na nasa loob ng iyong mga bayan, huwag mo siyang pababayaan, sapagkat wala siyang bahagi at mana na kasama mo.

Rashi

והלוי … לא תעזבנו AND THE LEVITE [THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES;] THOU SHALT NOT FORSAKE HIM by not giving him the “First Tithe” (מעשר ראשון).

Ibn Ezra

the Levite who resides within your gates denotes any member of the Tribe of Levi. You will be rewarded if you do not forsake them, but rather, if you give them commensurate to what you can afford. The most plausible interpretation is that Scripture is discussing the first tithe. Having just mentioned the second tithe, Scripture now says: Do not think that you fulfill your duty with only the second tithe.

Rashbam

והלוי אשר בשעריך לא תעזבנו, but let him share in your joy so that G’d in turn will have reason to be good to you.

Rashi

כי אין לו חלק ונחלה עמך OR HE HATH NO PORTION NOR INHERITANCE WITH THEE — This excludes “Gleanings” (לקט), “the forgotten sheaf” (שכחה), the “corner of the field” (פאה), and ownerless things (הפקר) from the things that must be tithed — for he (the Levite) has a portion in them (is entitled to take of them) with you, just the same as you, and they are therefore exempt from tithes (Mishnah Challah 1:3; Bava Kamma 94a).
