Deuteronomy 15-16

It took me about 10 minutes to read this passage, in spite of all the interruptions.  Remember from what state God delivered you. Thats what Moses said to the nation of former slaves.  They had no inheritance and never a thought of free movement.  Those to whom they were not related commanded their actions and set their goal.  They were neither allowed to defend themselves or worship God as he led them.  They were oppressed, but not broken, beat down, but not destroyed.  Every day was another day of purposeless toil and labor.  When they saw someone is similar circumstances they were to remember and act toward the needed as God had acted toward Israel.  That is what children do; they imitate their father.
