Deuteronomy 24:17-18 - The Pulpit Commentary

Deuteronomy 24:17-18 -

The law against perverting the right of strangers, widows, and orphans is here repeated from Exodus 22:20 , Exodus 22:21 ; Exodus 23:9 , with the addition that the raiment of the widow was not to be taken in pledge. To enforce this, the people are reminded that they themselves as a nation had been in the condition of strangers and bondmen in Egypt (cf. Le 19:33, 34).
