LOVE Deuteronomy 10:19

And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt.

And you are to love
Deuteronomy 7:12 If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your forefathers.

those who are aliens
Exodus 22:21 "Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt."
Deuteronomy 24:19 When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the alien, the fatherless and the widow so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt
Leviticus 19:33-34 "'When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.'"
Ezekiel 47:22-23 "You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who have settled among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe the alien settles, there you are to give him his inheritance," declares the Sovereign LORD.
