DEUT742 Assistance to an Orphan: Our Rabbis taught: If an orphan applied for assistance to marry, a house must be rented for him, a bed must be prepared for him, and he has to be supplied with all household objects needed for his use, and then he is given a wife in marriage, for it is said in Scripture, "Sufficient for his need in that which he wants" (this verse). "Sufficient for his need," refers to the house, "in that which he wants," refers to a bed and a table; "He" refers to a wife, for so it is said in Scripture, "I will make a fitting helper for him" (Genesis 2:18) [Talmud Ketubot 67b].
