Leviticus 19:34

“[But] a stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, etc.] Especially if a proselyte of righteousness; for then he enjoyed the same privileges, civil and religious, the Israelites did, for there was one law for them both, (<021249>Exodus 12:49): and thou shalt love him as thyself; and show it by doing all the good things for him they would have done for themselves in like circumstances: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: and therefore knew what hardships such were exposed unto; and it became them to put on bowels of compassion, and show pity to those in a like condition, and particularly consider, as Jarchi suggests, that they were idolaters there also,…”

“As one born among you - Either 1, as to the matters of common right, so it reacheth to all strangers. Or 2, as to church - privileges, so it concerns only those who were proselytes. Ye were strangers - And therefore are sensible of the fears, distresses, and miseries of such, which call for your pity, and you ought to do to them, as you desired others should do to you, when you were such. Leviticus 19:35”
