Answer 1

Answer:

Both A and B

Explanation:

The Egyptian concept of charity refers majorly to the avoidance of harming other people. Ancient Egyptians have been taught to always be in a position to help each other and should avoid inflicting pain on another. They are to take one another as brothers.

The Jewish concept of charity denotes being good all round. It is not only restricted to alms-giving but also includes righteousness and standing for justice.
