These verses emphasize compassion and justice toward foreigners, grounded in the Israelites’ own history of being strangers in Egypt.
Exodus 22:21 (NIV):
“Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.”
Leviticus 19:33–34 (NIV):
“When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
