Calvin, preaching Deuteronomy, notes that Proverbs 22:2 commands rich and poor to meet together — proximity being the mechanism by which help actually reaches people. God, apparently, considered physical nearness load-bearing. Today we prefer charitable giving at arm’s length: a click, a transfer, no eye contact. Very efficient. Entirely missing the point Calvin was making, but very efficient.
