Deuteronomy:15:7-11
jps@Deuteronomy:15:7 @ If there be among you a needy man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates, in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother;
jps@Deuteronomy:15:8 @ but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he wanteth.
jps@Deuteronomy:15:9 @ Beware that there be not a base thought in thy heart, saying: 'The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand'; and thine eye be evil against thy needy brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin in thee.
jps@Deuteronomy:15:10 @ Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing the LORD thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.
jps@Deuteronomy:15:11 @ For the poor shall never cease out of the land; therefore I command thee, saying: 'Thou shalt surely open thy hand unto thy poor and needy brother, in thy land.'
