1/ There are 4 pp groups constantly referenced together in scripture. Theologian, Nicolas Wolterstorff, calls them “the quartet of the vulnerable.” Includes the widows, orphans, immigrants and the poor. Note: Immigrants would have also included their ethnic “other”— non-Hebrews. Image
2/ There was a time when God governed the people of Israel directly (Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy). That’s where we get the 10 Commandments and all the laws that come after. Through God’s public policy, we can see God priorities.
