Deuteronomy 27:19

“Cursed [be] he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow, etc.] Who have none to assist them, and take their part, and therefore judges may be tempted to do an unjust thing; but God is the patron of them, and takes notice of every injury done them, and is the avenger of all such: and all the people shall say Amen; (see Gill on “<052715>Deuteronomy 27:1516”).”

Deuteronomy 27:12, Deuteronomy 27:13 The tribes appointed to stand on Gerizim to bless the people all sprang from the two wives of Jacob, Leah and Rachel. All the four tribes which sprang from the handmaids Zilpah and Bilhah are located on Ebal. But in order, as it would seem, to effect an equal division, two tribes are added to the latter from the descendants of the wives, that of Reuben, probably because he forfeited his primogeniture Genesis 49:4; and of Zebulun, apparently because he was the youngest son of Leah. The transaction presents itself as a solemn renewal…”

“27:19 It would be easy to put foreigners, orphans, and widows at a legal disadvantage or to deny them justice altogether (see 10:18; 24:17).”
