8. " and when the relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the
division (of heritage), give them (something) out of it
and speak to them kind words."
commentary:
an ethical ordinance
certainly this verse has been revealed after the law of division of
heritage, because it says:
" and when the relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the
division (of heritage), give them (something), ..."
though the terms ` orphans ' and ` the needy ' are mentioned in the
abstract form, the purpose of it is the orphans and the needy of the
relatives.
then, at the end of the verse, it says:
"... and speak to them kind words."
