Deuteronomy 15:8 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 15:8

But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him
And give him bountifully and liberally; in order to which the heart must be first opened, the affections moved, and a willing mind disposed to give generously:

and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he
wanteth:
enough to answer his present exigencies, but not to cause him to abound, or to supply him with things needless and superfluous.

Deuteronomy 15:8 In-Context

6 The Lord your God will bless you as he promised, and you will lend to other nations, but you will not need to borrow from them. You will rule over many nations, but none will rule over you.

7 If there are poor among you, in one of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be selfish or greedy toward them.

8 But give freely to them, and freely lend them whatever they need.

9 Beware of evil thoughts. Don't think, "The seventh year is near, the year to cancel what people owe." You might be mean to the needy and not give them anything. Then they will complain to the Lord about you, and he will find you guilty of sin.

10 Give freely to the poor person, and do not wish that you didn't have to give. The Lord your God will bless your work and everything you touch.
