An exhortation to charity in rhyming verse:

Page 7
Paraphrased in English:
1
God has planted love in us

2
Like God favoring the universe – we too should practice mercy and Khessed.

3
Because of Man's Preeminence over Beast –we should help our brothers.

4
Even the poor hope to help others

5
A person - like a farmer working for his king - should help others whether through power, wealth, wisdom or justice.

6
We are thirsty to do good and help the poor. You, our brothers, listen to our appeal. Gmilut Khassadim will lengthen your life.

7
Israel was chosen from among all peoples for the purpose of supporting the poor and helpless.

8
This is our lot from our birth as a nation, since coming out of Egypt to do Khessed to those who stumble.
