VERSE: Lv19-15b

EXAMPLE: Lv19-15b

>Lv19-15 Don't grant FORGIVENESS to the poor

        RASHI: Don't decide a case in favor of the poor
        and grant him forgiveness of debt by arguing
        'Both I (the judge) and the other litigant have
        to give him charity so what is so terrible in
        forgiving him'


This Rashi comes from the dozen or so meanings for the
root N-S-A. One of these meanings is FORGIVE. FORGIVING
a debt is a common phrase even in English.
