# For the poor will never cease to exist in the land "For there will always be poor people in the land" # I command you and say, 'You must surely open your hand ... in your land.' "I command you to open your hand ... in your land" # open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor "help your fellow Israelite, those who are needy, and those who are poor" # your brother, to your needy, and to your poor "help your fellow Israelites who cannot help themselves"
