As used here, "generosity" emphasizes giving, a "one-direction" action. "Sharing" has a greater "communal" emphasis, a "two-direction" action.


This concept (generosity) also applies to how we treat animals.


Scripture Pages that Link to Here

Leviticus 19 (selected verses)

You must leave some of your harvest for the poor to gather.


Deuteronomy 23:12-14, 19-25

Limits put on the taker. A person traveling through another person's field has a right to eat from the field, but not to take any home. This would refer to "pre-harvest" time. (After that, the poor could gather all they wanted, and take it home.)


Deuteronomy 24:6, 10-22

You must leave some of your crops/produce for others who are needy. Blessing these people is a prerequisite for receiving blessings from God!


Psalm 37 (selected verses)

Psa 37:21 The wicked borrow, and don't pay back, but the righteous give generously.
The wicked are greedy for what they cannot keep; the righteous are generous with what they cannot lose!
