OPEN THINE HAND WIDE

-
DEUTERONOMY15:1-11

AT THE END OF EVERY SEVEN 
YEARS THOU SHALT MAKE 
A RELEASE.  
AND THIS IS THE MANNER 
OF THE RELEASE:
EVERY CREDITOR THAT 
LENDETH OUGHT 
UNTO HIS NEIGHBOUR 
SHALL RELEASE IT; 
HE SHALL NOT EXACT IT 
OF HIS NEIGHBOUR,
 OR OF HIS BROTHER; 
BECAUSE IT IS CALLED
THE LORD'S RELEASE. 
OF A FOREIGNER THOU 
MAYEST EXACT IT AGAIN: 
BUT THAT WHICH IS THINE 
WITH THY BROTHER 
THINE HAND SHALL RELEASE; 
SAVE WHEN THERE SHALL 
BE NO POOR AMONG YOU; 
FOR THE LORD SHALL GREATLY 
BLESS THEE IN THE LAND WHICH 
THE LORD THY GOD 
GIVETH THEE FOR AN 
INHERITANCE TO POSSESS IT. 
ONLY IF THOU CAREFULLY
 HEARKEN UNTO THE VOICE 
OF THE LORD THY GOD, 
TO OBSERVE 
TO DO 
ALL THESE COMMANDMENTS 
WHICH I COMMAND THEE 
THIS DAY. 
FOR THE LORD THY GOD
BLESSETH THEE, 
AS HE PROMISED THEE: 
AND THOU SHALT LEND 
UNTO MANY NATIONS, 
BUT THOU SHALT NOT BORROW; 
AND THOU SHALT REIGN 
OVER MANY NATIONS, 
BUT THEY SHALL NOT
 REIGN OVER THEE.
IF THERE BE AMONG YOU 
A POOR MAN OF ONE OF THY BRETHERN 
WITHIN ANY 
OF THY GATES IN THY LAND 
WHICH THE LORD THY GOD 
GIVETH THEE,
THOU SHALT NOT 
HARDEN 
THINE HEART, 
NOR SHUT THINE 
HAND FROM THY POOR 
BROTHER:
BUT 
THOU SHALT  
OPEN THINE HAND WIDE 
UNTO HIM
AND 
SHALT SURELY LEND 
HIM SUFFICIENT FOR HIS NEEDS, 
IN THAT WHICH HE WANTETH.
BEWARE THAT THERE 
BE NOT A THOUGHT IN 
THY WICKED HEART, SAYING, 
THE SEVENTH YEAR,
THE YEAR OF RELEASE
IS AT HAND;
AND THINE EYE BE EVIL 
AGAINST THY POOR BROTHER, 
AND 
THOU GIVEST HIM NOUGHT; 
AND HE CRY UNTO THE LORD AGAINST THEE, AND 
IT BE SIN UNTO THEE. 
THOU SHALT SURELY GIVE HIM, 
AND THINE HEART SHALL 
NOT BE GRIEVED WHEN THOU
 GIVEST UNTO HIM:
BECAUSE  THAT FOR THIS 
THING THE LORD THY GOD 
SHALL BLESS THEE
IN ALL THY WORKS, 
AND IN ALL THAT THOU 
PUTTEST THINE HAND UNTO. 
FOR THE POOR SHALL 
NEVER CEASE OUT OF THE LAND:
THEREFORE I COMMAND 
THEE, SAYING,
THOU SHALT OPEN 
THINE HAND WIDE UNTO 
THY BOTHER, 
TO THY POOR, 
AND TO THY NEEDY IN THY LAND.

Hebrews 11:17-40 BY FAITH  ABRAHAM, WHEN HE WAS TRIED, OFFERED UP ISAAC:  AND HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE PROMISES  OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,  OF WHOM IT WAS SAID,  THAT IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED:   ACCOUNTING THAT GOD WAS ABLE  TO RAISE HIM UP,  EVEN FROM THE DEAD;  FROM WHENCE  ALSO HE RECEIVED HIM  IN A FIGURE.   BY FAITH ISAAC blessed Jacob and Esau  CONCERNING THINGS TO COME BY FAITH JACOB, WHEN HE WAS DYING blessed both the sons of Joseph; and  WORSHIPPED, LEANING UPON THE TOP OF HIS STAFF. BY FAITH  JOSEPH,  WHEN HE DIED, MADE MENTION  of the departing of the children of Israel; and  GAVE COMMANDMENT CONCERNING HIS BONES.

JEREMIAH 6:1-9     O YE CHILDREN OF BENJAMIN ,  GATHER YOURSELVES  TO FLEE OUT OF  THE MIDST OF JERUSALEM ,  AND  BLOW THE TRUMPET IN TEKOA ,  AND SET UP A SIGN OF FIRE  IN BETHHACCEREM :  FOR EVIL APPEARETH  OUT OF THE NORTH,  AND GREAT DESTRUCTION. I HAVE LIKENED  THE DAUGHTER OF ZION   TO  A COMELY AND DELICATE WOMAN.
