Musar zu Dewarim 10:18
עֹשֶׂ֛ה מִשְׁפַּ֥ט יָת֖וֹם וְאַלְמָנָ֑ה וְאֹהֵ֣ב גֵּ֔ר לָ֥תֶת ל֖וֹ לֶ֥חֶם וְשִׂמְלָֽה׃
Er wird Gerechtigkeit für die Waisen und Witwen üben und den Fremden lieben, indem er ihm Nahrung und Kleidung gibt.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
Why did Jacob have to mention that the bread that G–d would give him would be לאכול, "to eat," and that the clothing would be "to wear?" What else is one supposed to do with bread and clothing?" If we needed proof that the Torah is not merely turning a phrase, look at Deut. 10,18: "G–d loves the stranger to give him bread and clothes." The Torah does not bother to mention the function of bread and clothing.
