1. • There is hardly a reference

     • Although the Bible is concerned with the poor and the needy, there is hardly a reference to begging or to beggars, and there is, in fact, no biblical Hebrew word for it. The needs of the poor were provided by the laws of * leket, shikhḥah, and pe'ah which were the perquisites of the ani, the "poor man," or the evyon, the "needy."

   Although it has made ample provision for the relief of the poor, the Mosaic legislation does not contain any prescription with regard to beggars; nor has the Biblical Hebrew a specific term for professional beggary, the nearest expression being "to ask [or seek] bread" and "to wander" (see below).

   Are there any references to begging and beggars?

   • The only possible references are not to actual begging and beggars but are contained in the complementary assurances that whereas the children of the righteous will not have to "seek bread" (Ps. 37:25), the children of the wicked will, after his untimely death, be vagabonds "and seek their bread out of desolate places" (Ps. 109:10).

   What is a beggar?

   • Beggars consist of two groups, genuine beggars and students of the old-fashioned yeshivot who are to some extent encouraged by the authorities of the yeshivah, not only as a source of subsistence but to afford the worshipers an opportunity of combining prayer with charity.

   Who were the beggars in the New Testament?

   • For the most part, beggars in the New Testament appear to have been genuine paupers whose destitution was caused by circumstances beyond their control, such as physical handicaps or infirmities. Far from condemning the needy for being reduced to begging, Jesus paused to perform miracles on their behalf (Mark 10:46-52; John 9:10-11).
