Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

But shalt open it to the poor man, thou shalt lend him, that which thou perceivest he hath need of.

Context
Generosity in Lending and Giving
7If one of thy brethren that dwelleth within thy gates of thy city in the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, come to poverty: thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor close thy hand, 8But shalt open it to the poor man, thou shalt lend him, that which thou perceivest he hath need of.9Beware lest perhaps a wicked thought steal in upon thee, and thou say in thy heart: The seventh year of remission draweth nigh; and thou turn away thy eyes from thy poor brother, denying to lend him that which he asketh: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it become a sin unto thee.…
