Finances

11For 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.

17Every man shall give as he is able, according to Yahweh your God’s blessing which he has given you.

1Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.

9Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase:

7There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.

21He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who has pity on the poor.

17He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him.

26There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don’t withhold.

9He who has a generous eye will be blessed; for he shares his food with the poor.

27One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.

20She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
