Contextual Overview

16 If a man entice a mayde that is not betrouthed, and lye with her, he shall endowe her, and take her to his wyfe. 17 And if her father refuse to geue her vnto him, he shal pay money, according to the dowrie of virgins. 18 Thou shalt not suffer a witche to lyue. 19 Whosoeuer lyeth with a beast, shall be slayne for it. 20 He that offereth vnto any gods, saue vnto ye Lord only, he shalbe killed. 21 Uexe not a straunger, neither oppresse him: for ye were straungers in the land of Egypt. 22 Ye shall trouble no wydowe nor fatherlesse chylde. 23 If ye shall euyll entreate them, and they crye out vnto me, I wyll surelye heare theyr crye. 24 And then wyl my wrath waxe hotte, and I wyll kyll you with the sworde, & your wyues shalbe widowes, and your chyldren fatherlesse.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. Who have no friends, husband, or father to be on their side and protect them, and are weak and helpless to defend themselves, and therefore it must be barbarous to do them any injury, either to their persons or property; no one ought to be afflicted and distressed by another, either in body or mind, or substance, and especially such as have no helper, not any to assist them and sympathize with them; for this is a law for every man, as Jarchi observes, is binding upon all; only the Scripture speaks of these, because of their weakness, and because they are more frequently afflicted than others, cruel and unmerciful men taking the advantage of their inability to defend themselves.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Afflict - A word including all cold and contemptuous treatment. See Deuteronomy 10:18. Contrast the blessing, Deuteronomy 14:29.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 22:22. Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. — It is remarkable that offences against this law are not left to the discretion of the judges to be punished; God reserves the punishment to himself, and by this he strongly shows his abhorrence of the crime. It is no common crime, and shall not be punished in a common way; the wrath of God shall wax hot against him who in any wise afflicts or wrongs a widow or a fatherless child: and we may rest assured that he who helps either does a service highly acceptable in the sight of God.
