If you withhold your private property from the poor, you’re going to hell. THAT’S a moral absolute.

True, but it also forbids the poor, or anyone else from stealing private property.

You must leave part of your field unharvested, and you must permit them to eat of your field at night, but not carry any away from it, and you must leave that part of the harvest that falls to the ground for the benefit of the poor.

But the property is yours and by a commandment equal to the one about murder, they may not steal it from you, nor covet it.
