The compassion of the scriptures, including the setting aside of legitimate rights of lenders, was typical of economic relationships in the economy of early Judeo-Christian societies. The central theme is one of stability - a stable society with a guarantee of economic security to each family. Wealth was viewed as a blessing from God (Deuteronomy 8:11-18, 28). This blessing resulted from obedience and was based on God's compassion. The tithing for the poor, the gleaning laws, the year of the Jubiliee, were all tangible ways that Israelites could show compassion for each other and honor God by following His law. Beyond income-maintenance programs, the Biblical Law provide a permanent mechanism - such as the Sabbatical year and Jubilee - to insure that temporary misfortune barred no family from full participation in economic life.
