because the needy one doth not cease out of the land, therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Thou dost certainly open thy hand to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy one, in thy land.
Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase;
And filled are thy barns [with] plenty, And [with] new wine thy presses break forth.
There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.
A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.
Whoso is lending [to] Jehovah is favouring the poor, And his deed He repayeth to him.
