As God reveals his Law to the Israelites he is very specific on how the marginalized of this world are to be treated.  Israel is to love, serve, and protect the orphan, widow, and foreigner so that God’s heart of compassion and mercy can be known.  Throughout scripture this remains at the center of God’s will for his people.  They are to be people of justice, people who remember who they were before he rescued them, and people who recognize that he served himself the justice that all of humankind deserved.
