“If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:”
King James Version (KJV)
15:8 Open thine hand wide - That is, deal bountifully and liberally with him.
15:9 Beware - Suppress the first risings of such uncharitableness. It be sin - That is, it be charged upon thee as a sin.
