The Hebrew word often translated as "foreigner" is "ger," which can also mean "sojourner" or "stranger." In the New Testament, the Greek term "xenos" is used. The treatment and status of foreigners are significant themes throughout the Bible, reflecting God's concern for justice, compassion, and the inclusion of all peoples in His redemptive plan.<br><br><b>Old Testament</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the Israelites were frequently reminded of their own history as foreigners in Egypt. This historical experience shaped the laws and attitudes towards foreigners living among them. <a href="/leviticus/19-33.htm">Leviticus 19:33-34</a> instructs, "When a foreigner resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him. You must treat the foreigner living among you as native-born and love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God."<br><br>The Mosaic Law provided specific protections and rights for foreigners. They were to be included in religious observances, such as the Passover, provided they adhered to certain requirements (<a href="/exodus/12-48.htm">Exodus 12:48-49</a>). <a href="/deuteronomy/10-18.htm">Deuteronomy 10:18-19</a> emphasizes God's love for the foreigner: "He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and He loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing. So you also must love the foreigner, since you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt."<br><br>However, there were also distinctions between Israelites and foreigners. For example, foreigners were not allowed to own land permanently (<a href="/leviticus/25-23.htm">Leviticus 25:23</a>) and were subject to different regulations regarding worship and community participation.<br><br><b>New Testament</b><br><br>The New Testament expands on the theme of inclusion and the breaking down of barriers between Jews and Gentiles. Jesus' ministry often reached out to those considered outsiders, including Samaritans and Gentiles. In the parable of the Good Samaritan (<a href="/luke/10-25.htm">Luke 10:25-37</a>), Jesus highlights the importance of showing mercy and love to all, regardless of ethnic or cultural differences.<br><br>The Apostle Paul further develops this theme in his letters, emphasizing the unity of believers in Christ. <a href="/ephesians/2-19.htm">Ephesians 2:19</a> states, "Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household." This reflects the transformative power of the Gospel to create a new community where ethnic and cultural distinctions are transcended.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>The biblical treatment of foreigners underscores the universality of God's love and the call for His people to reflect that love in their interactions with others. The consistent message is one of hospitality, justice, and compassion, rooted in the character of God Himself. The inclusion of foreigners in the covenant community foreshadows the ultimate gathering of all nations into the Kingdom of God, as seen in the prophetic visions of Isaiah and Revelation.<br><br>Throughout Scripture, the presence of foreigners serves as a reminder of God's sovereign plan to bless all nations through the descendants of Abraham (<a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>). This theme culminates in the New Testament, where the Gospel is proclaimed to all peoples, fulfilling the promise that in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, but all are one (<a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28</a>).<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>A Gentile.
