Contextual Overview
12 And now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good? 14 Look, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein. 15 Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day. 16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and don't be stiff-necked anymore. 17 For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who does not regard persons, nor takes reward. 18 He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the sojourner, in giving him food and raiment. 19 Love therefore the sojourner; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 20 You shall fear Yahweh your God; him you shall serve; and to him you shall cleave, and by his name you shall swear. 21 He is your praise, and he is your God, that has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Love ye therefore the stranger,.... Because the Lord loves him; and another reason follows, particularly binding on the Israelites:
for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt; and therefore should sympathize with such, and show them compassion, relieve them in distress, and afford them whatever they want, and is in the power of their hands to communicate to them; remembering their own condition in Egypt, and how welcome such a treatment would have been to them then, as well as the kind and careful providence of God towards them at that time.
