wretched Poor The Mosaic legislation regarding the poor is specially important . (
1 .)
They had the right of gleaning the fields (
Lev .
19 :
9 ,
10 ;
Deut .
24 :
19 ,
21 ).
(
2 .)
In the sabbatical year they were to have their share of the produce of the fields and the vineyards (
Ex .
23 :
11 ;
Lev .
25 :
6 ).
(
3 .)
In the year of jubilee they recovered their property (
Lev .
25 :
25 -
30 ).
(
4 .)
Usury was forbidden ,
and the pledged raiment was to be returned before the sun went down (
Ex .
22 :
25 -
27 ;
Deut .
24 :
10 -
13 ).
The rich were to be generous to the poor (
Deut .
15 :
7 -
11 ).
(
5 .)
In the sabbatical and jubilee years the bond -
servant was to go free (
Deut .
15 :
12 -
15 ;
Lev .
25 :
39 -
42 ,
47 -
54 ).
(
6 .)
Certain portions from the tithes were assigned to the poor (
Deut .
14 :
28 ,
29 ;
26 :
12 ,
13 ).
(
7 .)
They shared in the feasts (
Deut .
16 :
11 ,
14 ;
Neh .
8 :
10 ).
(
8 .)
Wages were to be paid at the close of each day (
Lev .
19 :
13 ).
In the New Testament (
Luke 3 :
11 ;
14 :
13 ;
Acts 6 :
1 ;
Gal .
2 :
10 ;
James 2 :
15 ,
16 )
we have similar injunctions given with reference to the poor .
Begging was not common under the Old Testament ,
while it was so in the New Testament times (
Luke 16 :
20 ,
21 ,
etc .).
But begging in the case of those who are able to work is forbidden ,
and all such are enjoined to "
work with their own hands "
as a Christian duty (
1 Thess .
4 :
11 ;
2 Thess .
3 :
7 -
13 ;
Eph .
4 :
28 ).
This word is used figuratively in Matt .
5 :
3 ;
Luke 6 :
20 ;
2 Cor .
8 :
9 ;
Rev .
3 :
17 .
