Just as God had mercifully brought the Israelites out of Egypt when they were nothing but penniless slaves and had given them a land of their own (Leviticus 25:38), so He expected them to express similar kindness to their own poor citizens. Christians are in a parallel situation.
Kama vile Mungu kwa huruma zake aliwatoa Waisraeli katika Misri wakati hawakuwa kitu cho chote na kuwa watumwa alikwisha wapa nchi ambayo ni yao (Mambo Ya Walawi 25:38), kwa hivyo aliwatarajia waonyeshe ukarimu huo huo kwa raia wenzao maskini.
