“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."
-Deuteronomy 15:7-8
