Exodus 22:21 You shall neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. This was not only a humane law; but it was a sound policy. Do not wrong a stranger; remember ye were strangers. Do not oppress a stranger; remember ye were oppressed. Therefore do unto all men as you would they should do to you. Let strangers be well treated among you, and many will come among you, and the strength of your country will be increased. If refugees of this kind be treated well, they will become proselytes to your religion, and thus their souls may be saved. ( A. Clarke, D. D..) Parallel Verses KJV: Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. |
