Contextual Overview

12 Now, therefore, O Israel, what is, Yahweh thy God, asking of thee, - but to revere Yahweh thy God to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul: 13 to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, - for thy good? 14 Lo! unto Yahweh thy God, belong the heavens even the highest heavens, - the earth, with all that is therein. 15 Only unto thy fathers, Yahweh became attached so as to love them, - therefore made he choice of their seed after them - of you - out of all the peoples, (as at this day). 16 Therefore must ye circumcise the foreskin of your hearts, - and your necks, must ye stiffen no more. 17 For as touching Yahweh your God, he, is God of gods, and Lord of lords; the great the mighty, and the fearful GOD, who respecteth not persons, nor accepteth a bribe; 18 executing the vindication of the orphan and the widow, - and loving sojourner, giving him food and raiment. 19 Therefore shall ye love the sojourner, - for sojourners, became ye in the land of Egypt. 20 Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere, Him, shalt thou serve, - And unto him, shalt thou cleave, And in his name, shalt thou swear. 21 He, is thy song of praise, And, he, thy God, - who hath done with thee these great and fearful things, which thine own eyes have seen.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow,.... Who have none to help them, and whose patron and defender he is, and will do them justice himself, and take care that it is done them by others, or avenge their injuries, for he is a Father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widow, in his holy habitation; Psalms 68:5

and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment; one that is in a foreign country, at a distance from his native land, and destitute of friends; such God in his providence takes care of, and expresses his love and kindness to, by giving them the necessaries of life, food, and raiment.
