# General Information:

This continues what the Israelite must say to Yahweh when he gives his tithe to the poor.

# I have not eaten any of it in my mourning

"I have not eaten any of the tithe while I was mourning"

# when I was unclean

God does not allow an unclean person to touch the tithe he is giving to God. The full meaning of this statement can be made explicit. Alternate translation: "when I was unclean according to the Law" or "when the law says I cannot touch it" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# I have listened to the voice of Yahweh my God; I have obeyed everything you have commanded me to do

Here "voice of Yahweh" is a metonym for what Yahweh says. Both statements share similar meanings. They emphasize that the person has obeyed all of God's commands. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
