But they could not neglect the poor but had to help them like people that owned a field for growing food they had to allow a portion of field so the poor could glean from it.
But in the New Testament it is a spiritual covenant offered to the world so we are only blessed with our needs and not riches.
Which the Bible says any person that preaches godliness is gain, prosperity Gospel, from such withdraw yourself.
Having food and clothing be content.
For the love of money is the root of all evil for it neglects the poor and needy, and love is the fulfilling of the law.

No love then no faith.
If a person goes by their wants that is not love for they care about their wants above people's needs.

This also will not work too good among those who claim Christianity.
The last I knew Joel was worth 40 million dollars and now they say 100 million dollars.
Regardless if the video is fake or not Joel is greedy and loves money.
