Proverbs 13:11: "Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow."

These laws promote a form of economic reset and support for the less fortunate, ensuring wealth distribution and self-sufficiency.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Yet, some people argue about GOD without knowledge, without guidance, and without the enlightening scripture.
