DEUTERONOMY 24:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.”
Remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this — the motivation is explicitly historical: Israel's own slavery is the paradigm for empathy. Having been redeemed, Israel is called to become a redeeming community.
