Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me! But you say,‘ How have we robbed you?’ In tithes and offerings.You are cursed with the curse; for you rob me, even this whole nation.Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says Yahweh of Armies,“ if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for.I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before its time in the field,” says Yahweh of Armies.

“‘ If your brother has become poor, and his hand can’t support himself among you, then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident.Take no interest from him or profit; but fear your God, that your brother may live among you.You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.“‘ If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you, you shall not make him to serve as a slave.

When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said,“ Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.”Joseph said,“ Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him,“ We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be desolate.”So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh’s.As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.Only he didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t sell their land.Then Joseph said to the people,“ Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.”They said,“ You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”

If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;
