Context of Deuteronomy 10:20
18He brings justice to widows and to children who have no family. He loves the foreign people who live among you. He gives them food to eat and clothes to wear. 19You too must love the foreign people who live among you. Remember that you also lived as foreigners in Egypt at one time. Respect and obey the Lord your God. Serve him faithfully. If you make a promise, only use his name to do that. 21He is the one that you should praise. He is the God that you worship. He has done great and powerful things to help you, and you saw him do them. 22When your ancestors went to Egypt, they were only 70 people. Now the Lord your God has caused you to become very many people. You are as many as the stars in the sky!
