    7If there is a poor person among your brothers within any of your gates in the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother.

    11For there will never cease to be poor people in the land. Therefore, I command you to freely open your hand to your brother, to the needy, and to the poor in your land.
