מַתָּ֣ן אָ֭דָם יַרְחִ֣יב ל֑וֹ וְלִפְנֵ֖י גְדֹלִ֣ים יַנְחֶֽנּוּ׃
Pemberian seseorang membuka jalan baginya dan membawanya ke hadapan orang-orang besar.
Duties of the Heart
Although, in benefiting another person, the aim is to further his own interests, the benefactor is nevertheless entitled to praise and gratitude for his kindness, as the wise king said, "Many beseech the generous man, and everyone is a friend to him that gives gifts" (Mishlei 19:6) ; and he also said, "A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men" (Mishlei 18:16).
