Verses 9-10
Deuteronomy 15:9-10. Beware Suppress the first risings of such uncharitableness.
And thine eye be evil Envious, unmerciful, unkind, as this phrase means, Proverbs 23:6; that is, thou grudge to relieve him. The opposite to this is a bountiful eye, Proverbs 22:9. And it be sin unto thee Charged upon thee as a sin. Thy heart shall not be grieved That is, thou shalt give, not only with an open hand, but with a willing and cheerful mind, without which thy very charity is uncharitable, and not accepted by God.
