כִּי יִהְיֶה בְךָ אֶבְיוֹן מֵאַחַד אַחֶיךָ
בְּאַחַד שְׁעָרֶיךָ בְּאַרְצְךָ אֲשֶׁר ה' אֱלֹקֶיךָ נֹתֵן לָךְ לֹא תְאַמֵּץ אֶת לְבָבְךָ
וְלֹא תִקְפֹּץ אֶת יָדְךָ
מֵאָחִיךָ הָאֶבְיוֹן׃
כִּי פָתֹחַ תִּפְתַּח אֶת יָדְךָ לוֹ
וְהַעֲבֵט תַּעֲבִיטֶנּוּ דֵּי מַחְסֹרוֹ
אֲשֶׁר יֶחְסַר לוֹ׃
If there is a needy person among you, one of your family,
in any of your settlements in the land that God your Lord is giving you,
do not harden your heart
and do not shut your hand
against your needy family member.
You must open your hand to them
and lend them enough for whatever they need.
