Believe me, they have already been paid in full. When you give gifts, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. read more.
Your giving will be in secret and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

This is what you must do whenever there are poor Israelites in one of your cities in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you. Be generous to these poor people.
