Generosity to the Poor

⁷ “If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the ^[a]gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, ^(A)you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother,

⁸ but ^(A)you shall ^[a]open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs.

⁴² Give to him who asks you, and ^(A)from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.
