DEU 15:7-11 Helping The Poor Law

Scripture

If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which YHWH your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother; 8 but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks. 9 Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,” and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing; and he cry to YHWH against you, and it be sin to you. 10 You shall surely give, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because it is for this thing YHWH your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to. 11 For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.

  • Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,” and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing; and he cry to YHWH against you, and it be sin to you.

  • You shall surely give, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because it is for this thing YHWH your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to. For the poor will never cease out of the land.

  • Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.
