Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the needy and the harbourless into thy house: when thou shalt see one naked, cover him, and despise not thy own flesh.
Ibn Ezra
פרוס Break. Comp. פרש אין להם no man breaketh it unto them (Lam. 4:4); פריסת is divided (Dan. 5:28). It means here to break a loaf of bread, in order to give a part of it to the poor. מְרוּדִים That are cast out. The מ is radical, as in מְעוּנִים habitations (1 Chr. 4:41); comp. מרודי my exile (Lam. 3:19). To the house. To thy house. From thine own flesh. From thy relative. Comp. He is our brother and our flesh (Gen. 37:27)
