Proverbs 31:20

She stretcheth out her hand to the poor -

11. She is truly charitable. She knows that in every portion of a man' s gain God requires a lot for the poor; and if this is not given, God' s blessing is not in the rest. And she is not contented to give common alms. While with one hand ( yad ) she relieves the general poor, with both hands ( yadeyha ) she gives to the needy, leaney , to the afflicted poor.
