Before entering the Promised Land, the Israelites, who had been poor and weak in the land of Egypt, were reminded that they should not “harden [their] heart ” toward their afflicted brothers.
Enne tõotatud maale minemist manitses Jumal iisraellasi, kes olid Egiptuses elades olnud vaesed ja nõrgad, et nad ei teeks oma südant kõvaks hädasolevate vendade vastu. Ta ootas, et nad arvestaksid vaestega ja aitaksid neid.
