Keluaran 22:21
Konteks22:21 “You must not wrong 1 a foreigner 2 nor oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Ulangan 24:19
Konteks24:19 Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and leave some unraked grain there, 3 you must not return to get it; it should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow so that the Lord your God may bless all the work you do. 4
[22:21] 2 tn Or “alien,” both here and in 23:9. This individual is a resident foreigner; he lives in the land but, aside from provisions such as this, might easily be without legal rights.
[24:19] 3 tn Heb “in the field.”
[24:19] 4 tn Heb “of your hands.” This law was later applied in the story of Ruth who, as a poor widow, was allowed by generous Boaz to glean in his fields (Ruth 2:1-13).
