According to the scriptures cited, what is the proper etiquette and priority when offering food to others?

📖 Chapter 38

The texts provide clear guidance on the practice of food donation. Chapter 38 instructs that a householder should satisfy any guest with food, regardless of whether they arrive at a convenient time, as turning them away invites one's own downfall. Unlike other donations, food donation requires no special consideration. Furthermore, a specific hierarchy of recipients is established: one should first feed the diseased, the weak, the blind, the lame, the deaf, and the poor. Only after these individuals have been fed should one tend to their own kith and kin, underscoring the profound compassion at the heart of this duty.
