Deuteronomy 15:7

(7) A poor man.-”That needeth anything.”

Within any of thy gates.—“The poor of thine own city come before the poor of another city.”

Thou Shalt not harden.—“There are some men who ‘grieve’ (grudge) whether they give or not;” therefore it is said, “Thou shalt not harden thy heart; there are some who stretch out the hand (to give), and yet close it; therefore it is said, Thou shalt not shut thine hand.”
