The Complete Passuk

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 – מִנַּיִן שֶׁאִם נָתַתָּ לוֹ פַּעַם אַחַת שֶׁאַתָּה נוֹתֵן לוֹ אֲפִלּוּ מֵאָה פְּעָמִים, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר נָתֹן תִּתֵּן – מִכׇּל מָקוֹם.

English: "You shall surely give" — From where do we know that if you have given him once you must give him even a hundred times? From the doubled language "give, you shall give"—in every case.

On the daf / in context: Charity has no upper limit of frequency; the obligation continues throughout life.

Type of Learning

Derash on the verse (Bava Metzia) — repeated giving is required.

What Is Learned

One must continue to give to the same needy person even a hundred times; the mitzvah does not end after a single gift.
