(Exodus 23:6) "You shall not incline the judgment of your needy one in his quarrel": What is the intent of this? From (Ibid. 3) "You shall not honor a poor man in his quarrel," I would know only of a poor man. Whence do I derive (the same for) a needy pauper? (i.e., one who fell from his estate of wealth and now is in dire need [of almost everything])? From "You shall not incline the judgment of your needy one."
