DEUTERONOMY | 15:10 regrets — DEUT790 "You shall continually give him, and you ...

DEUT790 "You shall continually give him, and you must not feel bad when giving him" [this verse]. We have herein been admonished to distance ourselves from meanness of spirit [Lit., "narrow-eyed." It refers to one who resents the success of others, and does not help them willingly.] But to be magnanimous, similar to what the pasuk says (Mishlei 22:9), "A magnanimous person is blessed." Is not enough to [merely] open our hand and give; rather, we must implant within our souls the trait of generosity. Therefore, the Torah admonishes us by saying, "You must not feel bad [when giving him]," subsequent to its saying, "You shall continually give him."
