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