“When the community is in trouble do not say, ‘I will go home and eat and drink and all will be well with me.’… Rather, involve yourself in the community’s distress as was demonstrated by Moses (Exodus 27:12). In this way Moses said, ‘Since Israel is in trouble, I will share their burden.’”

“Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.”

“If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be.”

“One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.”

“Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him.”
