LEVITICUS | 25:35 poor — LEV1039 Rabbah b. Avahu found Elijah and asked hi...

LEV1039 Rabbah b. Avahu found Elijah and asked him: Must one make an "arrangement" for a debtor? [i.e., When estimating the value of his property to pay off his creditors, must it be arranged that a certain amount of food and clothing be left for him?] He answered: It is written: "and if your brother grows poor," and, in respect to erchin ["valuations" of human beings for sacred purposes] (Leviticus 27:8): "And if he is too poor," just as in the case of valuations, "arrangements" are made, in the case of a debtor, too, "arrangements" are made (Bava Metzia 114a)
