In the Torah they read, "There need be no poor people among you, for in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you" (Deuteronomy 15:4).
UJehova wathi: "Akungabi lomuntu oswelayo phakathi kwenu, ngoba elizweni lelo uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona ukuze libe yilifa lenu, uzalibusisa kakhulu."
