Deuteronomy 10:18-19 - Renewed Exhortations To Obedience.

As the impartial and incorruptible Judge, God executes the judgment of the fatherless and widow , vindicates the right of the defenseless ( Psalms 68:6 ; Psalms 146:9 ); and as the God of the whole earth, he loveth the stranger , helpless, and it may be oppressed, and giveth him food and raiment. Following him, Israel, as his people, were to be benevolent to the stranger, inasmuch as they themselves had been strangers in Egypt, and knew by experience what it was to be a stranger (cf. Exodus 22:20 ; Le 19:33, 34). They were to love the stranger as God loves him, by relieving his necessities (cf. James 2:15 , James 2:16 ).
