Biblical justice: What’s meant by ‘foreigner’? (Exodus 22–23)

A digital painting created by ChatGPT in a textured oil palette knife style, arranged as two side-by-side panels. In both panels, defendants are shown from behind, standing in a courtroom facing a judge. In the left panel, the judge appears pleased and gives a thumbs-up gesture toward the defendant; in the right panel, the judge looks disgusted and gives a thumbs-down toward a different defendant. The lower left quarter has a text overlay that reads, “Biblical justice: What’s meant by ‘foreigner’? (Exodus 22–23).” A Hallel.info watermark is visible in the lower right corner of the image.
