* the poor.
Although Moses, by the statutes relative to the division of
the land, and inheritance, and the inalienable nature of it,
had studied to prevent any Israelite from being born poor, yet
he exhorts them to the exercise of the tenderest compassion
and most benevolent actions; and not to refuse assistance to
the decayed Israelite, though the sabbatical year drew nigh.
