The Measures of Charity among the Jews according to the Rules and Precepts of the Rabbins were fixt in this manner. First, A Distribution amongst the Poor of all those Goods that had been ill got was necessary. Secondly, That a man should set apart the 5th part of his Estate, i. e. of wealth honestly acquir'd according to the Command. Thirdly, That no one was bound by the Law to give more than one 5th. But Fourthly, That he may do more if he please on his own accord, of which they had some Instances, as Zacheus, who gave the half of his Goods; and R. Isbab, who distributed all his Goods to the Poor out of extraordinary Devotion. Vide Dr. Lightfoot in Mat. 19. 21. and Luke 19. 8. |
