SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:18
mas acuérdate que fuiste siervo en Egipto, y de allí te rescató el SEÑOR tu Dios; por tanto, yo te mando que hagas esto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:18
Verse 18. Thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman] Most people who have affluence rose from comparative penury, for those who are born to estates frequently squander them away; such therefore should remember what their feelings, their fears, and anxieties were, when they were poor and abject. A want of attention to this most wholesome precept is the reason why pride and arrogance are the general characteristics of those who have risen in the world from poverty to affluence; and it is the conduct of those men which gave rise to the rugged proverb, "Set a beggar on horseback, and he will ride to the devil."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt , etc.] The remembrance of which may cause sympathy with persons in distress; particularly the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow: and the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence ; the Targum of Jonathan, “the Word of the Lord thy God;” which, as it was an act of great kindness and mercy in God to them, taught them, and laid them under obligation to show favour to their fellow creatures in distress: therefore I command thee to do this thing : not to pervert the judgment of the stranger and fatherless, nor take a widow’s raiment for a pledge; and it may be carried further into the context, and respect the laws about the pledge of the poor man, and giving the hired servant his wages in due time.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-22 - It is not hard to prove that purity, piety, justice, mercy, fai conduct, kindness to the poor and destitute, consideration for them and generosity of spirit, are pleasing to God, and becoming in his redeemed people. The difficulty is to attend to them in our daily wal and conversation __________________________________________________________________
