Wealth Seasoned by Alms
James 5:1-6
Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come on you.…


The pious Jews believed that as salt seasoned food so did alms riches, and that he who did not give alms of what he had his riches should be dispersed. The moth would corrupt the bags, and the canker corrode the money, unless the mass was sanctified by giving a part to the poor.
