The Bible also makes much of "the fatherless," hmmm.

 “The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless.” (Ps. 146:9)

“Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another, 10 do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart.” (Zech. 7:9–10)

“He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. 19 Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.” (Deut. 10:18-19)

“For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another, 6 if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow.” (Jer. 7:5–6)

See also Deut. 14:29; 24:7; Job 29:12-17; Jer. 22:3; Mal. 3:5; Ruth.

"Loving the Sojourner..."
