And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor, etc.] Such as have no husband to provide for them, nor father and mother to care for them, and are in a strange land, where they have no friends or acquaintance, and are poor, and can not help themselves. Laws of this kind were frequently inculcated among the Jews; (see <052414> Deuteronomy 24:14,17): and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart; thoughts of evil are sinful, and forbidden by the law of God, as well as actions, which agrees with our Lord’s sense of the law, (<400522>Matthew 5:22,28), (see <031917>Leviticus 19:17).
