Deuteronomy 15:10

You must by all means lend ¹  to him and not be upset by doing it, ²  for because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you attempt.

De 14:19,29; De 15:4; De 24:19; Ps 41:1,2; Pr 11:24,25; Pr 22:9; Isa 32:8; Isa 58:10; Mt 25:40; Ac 20:35; Ro 12:8; 2Co 9:5-7; 2Co 9:8-11; Php 4:18,19; 1Ti 6:18,19; Heb 13:16; 1Pe 4:11

¹ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “by all means.”

² tc Heb “your heart must not be grieved in giving to him.” The LXX and Orig add, “you shall surely lend to him sufficient for his need,” a suggestion based on the same basic idea in v. 8. Such slavish adherence to stock phrases is without warrant in most cases, and certainly here.
