Context of Deuteronomy 25:16

For everyone who does such things and acts unfairly is detestable to the Lord your God. 17“Remember what the Amalekites did to you on the journey after you left Egypt. 18They met you along the way and attacked all your stragglers from behind when you were tired and weary. They did not fear God.
