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.
