You will regard the foreigner who resides with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.
You must not oppress a resident foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be a resident foreigner because you were resident foreigners in the land of Egypt.
‘I have loved you,’ says the Lord. Yet you ask, ‘How have you loved us? ’ ‘Wasn’t Esau Jacob’s brother? ’ This is the Lord’s declaration. ‘Even so, I loved Jacob,
the land of Egypt is open before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land. They can live in the land of Goshen. If you know of any capable men among them, put them in charge of my livestock.’
So do not give your daughters to their sons in marriage or take their daughters for your sons. Never pursue their welfare or prosperity, so that you will be strong, eat the good things of the land, and leave it as an inheritance to your sons for ever.’
