Exodus 23:9 - Exposition

Thou shalt not oppress a stranger. This is a repetition of Exodus 22:21 , with perhaps a special reference to oppression through courts of justice. For thou knowest the heart of a stranger . Literally, "the mind of a stranger," or, in other words, his thoughts and feelings. Thou shouldest therefore be able to sympathise with him.
