Deuteronomy 10:17-22

17 quia Dominus Deus vester ipse est Deus deorum et Dominus dominantium Deus magnus et potens et terribilis qui personam non accipit nec munera

18 facit iudicium pupillo et viduae amat peregrinum et dat ei victum atque vestitum

19 et vos ergo amate peregrinos quia et ipsi fuistis advenae in terra Aegypti

20 Dominum Deum tuum timebis et ei servies ipsi adherebis iurabisque in nomine illius

21 ipse est laus tua et Deus tuus qui fecit tibi haec magnalia et terribilia quae viderunt oculi tui

22 in septuaginta animabus descenderunt patres tui in Aegyptum et ecce nunc multiplicavit te Dominus Deus tuus sicut astra caeli
