"For the Lord, your God, is the God of gods, the Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who has no favorites, accepts no bribes, who executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and loves the resident alien, giving them food and clothing." (Deuteronomy 10: 17 - 18).
Who should you share your bread with? The orphans, widows and immigrants.
"So you too should love the resident alien, for that is what you were in the land of Egypt." (Deuteronomy 10: 19).
Whom should you not persecute?
Those you insult as illegal immigrants.
"The Lord, your God, shall you fear, and him shall you serve; to him hold fast and by his name shall you swear. He is your praise; he is your God, who has done for you those great and awesome things that your own eyes have seen. Seventy strong your ancestors went down to Egypt, and now the Lord, your God, has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven." (Deuteronomy 10: 20 - 22).
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
