נָת֤וֹן תִּתֵּן֙ ל֔וֹ וְלֹא־יֵרַ֥ע לְבָבְךָ֖ בְּתִתְּךָ֣ ל֑וֹ כִּ֞י בִּגְלַ֣ל ׀ הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֗ה יְבָרֶכְךָ֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ בְּכׇֽל־מַעֲשֶׂ֔ךָ וּבְכֹ֖ל מִשְׁלַ֥ח יָדֶֽךָ׃

You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing Hashem your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to.

Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
נָתֹן תִּתֵּן – אֵין לִי אֶלָּא מַתָּנָה מְרֻבָּה, מַתָּנָה מוּעֶטֶת מִנַּיִן, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר נָתֹן תִּתֵּן – מִכׇּל מָקוֹם.

English: "You shall surely give" — I know only a large gift; from where do I know a small gift? From the doubled language "give, you shall give"—in every case.

On the daf / in context: Even a poor person who lives on charity is obligated to give a small amount to others.

Type of Learning

Derash on the verse (Bava Metzia) — even a small gift fulfills the mitzvah.

What Is Learned

The obligation to give includes even a minimal gift; a poor person who receives charity must himself give something.
