6:30 People 1 do not despise a thief when he steals
to fulfill his need 2 when he is hungry.
25:21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat,
and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,
1 tn Heb “they do not despise.”
2 tn Heb “himself” or “his life.” Since the word נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, traditionally “soul”) refers to the whole person, body and soul, and since it has a basic idea of the bundle of appetites that make up a person, the use here for satisfying his hunger is appropriate.
