Deuteronomy 10:15-22

15 The LORD delighted only in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you from among all the peoples, as it is this day.

16 Circumcise, therefore, the foreskin of your heart, and no longer be stiffnecked.

17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, a great God, mighty, and terrible, who makes no exception of persons, nor takes a bribe;

18 he executes the rights of the fatherless and the widow and also loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.

19 Ye shall love, therefore, the stranger, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave and swear by his name.

21 He shall be thy praise, and he shall be thy God, that has done with thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy souls, and now the LORD thy God has made thee as the stars of heaven in multitude.
