Context — Generosity in Lending and Giving
8Instead, you are to open your hand to him and freely loan him whatever he needs.
9Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought in your heart: “The seventh year, the year of release, is near,” so that you look upon your poor brother begrudgingly and give him nothing. He will cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
10Give generously to him, and do not let your heart be grieved when you do so. And because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything to which you put your hand.
11For there will never cease to be poor in the land; that is why I am commanding you to open wide your hand to your brother and to the poor and needy in your land. 12If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you must set him free.Cross References

Deuteronomy 15:10 Summary
[Deuteronomy 15:10 is telling us to give to those in need without hesitation or reluctance, and to trust that God will provide for our own needs. When we give generously, God promises to bless us in all that we do, as seen in this verse. This means that we can trust God to take care of us, just like a good father takes care of his children (Matthew 7:11). By giving to others, we are showing that we trust in God's love and care for us, and that we want to honor Him by loving and serving those in need.]
Frequently Asked Questions

To give generously means to give freely and abundantly, without hesitation or reluctance, as seen in Deuteronomy 15:8, where it says to 'open your hand to him and freely loan him whatever he needs.'

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 15:10
Thou shall surely give him,.... Or lend to him; though lending in such a case and circumstances, that person being extremely poor, and the year of release at hand, is the same as giving.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 15:10
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren 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
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 15:10
Thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him, i.e. thou shalt give not only with an open hand, but with a willing and cheerful mind and heart, , without which thy very charity is uncharitable, and not accepted by God, who requires the heart in all his services. In all that thou puttest thine hand unto, i.e. in all thy works, as before, for the hand is the great instrument of action.
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 15:10
Deuteronomy 15:10 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.Ver. 10. Thine heart shall not be grieved.] The Lord thy God shall bless thee.] See Proverbs 19:17; and "Alms," ubi supra.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 15:10
(10) Thou shalt surely give.—“Even a hundred times.” Him.—“Between thee and him alone.” (Comp. “Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth” in Matthew 6:3). I have thought it worth while to borrow the comments of Rashi on these verses (Deuteronomy 15:7-10) almost entire, to show how well the Jews have understood the true principles of Christian charity from the law of Moses. That people has always been remarkable for kindness to its own poor. For this thing.—Literally, this word, or this promise. And Rashi observes, “Even when thou hast promised to give, thou wilt receive the reward of the promise as well as the reward of the deed;” and we may compare St. Paul. “If there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.” (2 Corinthians 8:12.)
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 15:10
10. thine heart shall not be grieved, etc.] God loveth a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). puttest thine hand unto] See on Deuteronomy 12:7.
