Easton's Bible Dictionary

A Gentile. Such as resided among the Hebrews were required by the law to be treated with kindness (Exodus 22:21; 23:9; Leviticus 19:33, 34; 23:22; Deuteronomy 14:28; 16:10, 11; 24:19). They enjoyed in many things equal rights with the native-born residents (Exodus 12:49; Leviticus 24:22; Numbers 15:15; 35:15), but were not allowed to do anything which was an abomination according to the Jewish law (Exodus 20:10; Leviticus 17:15, 16; 18:26; 20:2; 24:16, etc.).

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

(n.) A person belonging to or owning allegiance to a foreign country; one not native in the country or jurisdiction under consideration, or not naturalized there; an alien; a stranger.

FOREIGNER

for'-in-er" The translation of nokhri, "unknown," "foreign," frequently rendered "stranger" (Deuteronomy 15:3 Obadiah 1:11); of toshabh, "a settler," "an alien resident" (Exodus 12:45; the Revised Version (British and American) "sojourner"; compare Leviticus 25:47 Psalm 39:12); of paroikos, "dwelling near," "sojourner" (Ephesians 2:19, the Revised Version (British and American) sojourners").

Revised Version has "foreigner" for "stranger" (Deuteronomy 17:15; Deuteronomy 23:20; Deuteronomy 29:22 Ruth 2:10 2 Samuel 15:19), for "alien" (Deuteronomy 14:21); "the hand of a foreigner" for "a stranger's hand" (Leviticus 22:25).
