4 except when there may be no poor among you; for the Lord will greatly abless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance—
5 only if you carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today.
6 For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; ayou shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.
Generosity to the Poor
7 “If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the1 gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, ayou shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother,
8 but ayou shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs.
