DEUTERONOMY 16:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
Deut 16:11Deut 16:13
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
Remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and diligently observe these statutes — the slave-past becomes the ethical ground for present justice; the memory of bondage should evoke compassion toward the foreigner, orphan, and widow, transforming historical trauma into communal moral sensitivity.
