Yesaya 58:7

58:7 I want you ¹  to share your food with the hungry

and to provide shelter for homeless, oppressed people. ² 

When you see someone naked, clothe him!

Don’t turn your back on your own flesh and blood! ³ 

Yehezkiel 18:7

18:7 does not oppress anyone, but gives the debtor back whatever was given in pledge, ⁴  does not commit robbery, ⁵  but gives his bread to the hungry and clothes the naked,

Yakobus 2:15-16

2:15 If a brother or sister ⁶  is poorly clothed and lacks daily food, 2:16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but you do not give them what the body needs, ⁷  what good is it?

[58:7]  ¹ tn Heb “Is it not?” The rhetorical question here expects a positive answer, “It is!”

[58:7]  ² tn Heb “and afflicted [ones], homeless [ones] you should bring [into] a house.” On the meaning of מְרוּדִים (mÿrudim, “homeless”) see HALOT 633 s.v. *מָרוּד.

[58:7]  ³ tn Heb “and from your flesh do not hide yourself.”

[18:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “restores to the debtor his pledge.” The root occurs in Exod 22:25 in reference to restoring a man’s garment as a pledge before nightfall.

[18:7]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew term refers to seizure of property, usually by the rich (Isa 3:14; 10:2; Mic 2:2 [see Lev 5:21, 22]).

[2:15]  ⁶ tn It is important to note that the words ἀδελφός (adelfos) and ἀδελφή (adelfh) both occur in the Greek text at this point, confirming that the author intended to refer to both men and women. See the note on “someone” in 2:2.

[2:16]  ⁷ tn Grk “what is necessary for the body.”
