Contextual Overview
14 You shall not oppress a poor and needy hired servant, of your brothers or of your aliens who are in your land, within your gates. 15 In the same day you shall give him his hire; do not let the sun go down on it. For he is poor, and has lifted up his heart on it; that he not cry against you to Jehovah, and it be sin against you. 16 The fathers shall not die for sons, and sons shall not die for fathers; they each shall die for his own sin. 17 You shall not pervert judgment of an alien, or of an orphan; and you shall not take a widow's garment as pledge. 18 But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Jehovah your God redeemed you from there. For that reason I command you to do this thing. 19 When you cut down your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not turn back to take it. It shall be for the alien, for the orphan, and for the widow; so that Jehovah your God shall bless you in all the workof your hand. 20 When you beat your olive tree, you shall not search the branch behind you. It shall be for the alien, for the orphan, and for the widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward. It shall be for the alien, for the orphan, and for the widow. 22 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. On account of this I am commanding you to do this thing.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt,.... The remembrance of which may cause sympathy with persons in distress; particularly the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow:
and the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence; the Targum of Jonathan,
"the Word of the Lord thy God;''
which, as it was an act of great kindness and mercy in God to them, taught them, and laid them under obligation to show favour to their fellow creatures in distress:
therefore I command thee to do this thing: not to pervert the judgment of the stranger and fatherless, nor take a widow's raiment for a pledge; and it may be carried further into the context, and respect the laws about the pledge of the poor man, and giving the hired servant his wages in due time.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compare the marginal references. The motive assigned for these various acts of consideration is one and the same Deuteronomy 24:18, Deuteronomy 24:22.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 24:18. Thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman — Most people who have affluence rose from comparative penury, for those who are born to estates frequently squander them away; such therefore should remember what their feelings, their fears, and anxieties were, when they were poor and abject. A want of attention to this most wholesome precept is the reason why pride and arrogance are the general characteristics of those who have risen in the world from poverty to affluence; and it is the conduct of those men which gave rise to the rugged proverb, "Set a beggar on horseback, and he will ride to the devil."
