And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:

And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
וְאִישׁ אִישׁ מִבֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִן-הַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּתוֹכָם אֲשֶׁר יֹאכַל כָּל-דָּם וְנָֽתַתִּי פָנַי בַּנֶּפֶשׁ הָֽאֹכֶלֶת אֶת-הַדָּם וְהִכְרַתִּי אֹתָהּ מִקֶּרֶב עַמָּֽהּ׃
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
עַל-כֵּן אָמַרְתִּי לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כָּל-נֶפֶשׁ מִכֶּם לֹא-תֹאכַל דָּם וְהַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּתֽוֹכְכֶם לֹא-יֹאכַל דָּֽם׃
Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
וְאִישׁ אִישׁ מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִן-הַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּתוֹכָם אֲשֶׁר יָצוּד צֵיד חַיָּה אוֹ-עוֹף אֲשֶׁר יֵֽאָכֵל וְשָׁפַךְ אֶת-דָּמוֹ וְכִסָּהוּ בֶּֽעָפָֽר׃

Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
וְכַרְמְךָ לֹא תְעוֹלֵל וּפֶרֶט כַּרְמְךָ לֹא תְלַקֵּט לֶֽעָנִי וְלַגֵּר תַּֽעֲזֹב אֹתָם אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם׃

וְאֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל תֹּאמַר אִישׁ אִישׁ מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִן-הַגֵּר׀ הַגָּר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר יִתֵּן מִזַּרְעוֹ לַמֹּלֶךְ מוֹת יוּמָת עַם הָאָרֶץ יִרְגְּמֻהוּ בָאָֽבֶן׃
Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
וְכָל-זָר לֹא-יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ תּוֹשַׁב כֹּהֵן וְשָׂכִיר לֹא-יֹאכַל קֹֽדֶשׁ׃
There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
וּבַת-כֹּהֵן כִּי תִֽהְיֶה לְאִישׁ זָר הִוא בִּתְרוּמַת הַקֳּדָשִׁים לֹא תֹאכֵֽל׃
If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
וּבַת-כֹּהֵן כִּי תִֽהְיֶה אַלְמָנָה וּגְרוּשָׁה וְזֶרַע אֵין לָהּ וְשָׁבָה אֶל-בֵּית אָבִיהָ כִּנְעוּרֶיהָ מִלֶּחֶם אָבִיהָ תֹּאכֵל וְכָל-זָר לֹא-יֹאכַל בּֽוֹ׃
But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
דַּבֵּר אֶֽל-אַהֲרֹן וְאֶל-בָּנָיו וְאֶל כָּל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָֽמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם אִישׁ אִישׁ מִבֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִן-הַגֵּר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר יַקְרִיב קָרְבָּנוֹ לְכָל-נִדְרֵיהֶם וּלְכָל-נִדְבוֹתָם אֲשֶׁר-יַקְרִיבוּ לַֽיהוָה לְעֹלָֽה׃
Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;
וּֽבְקֻצְרְכֶם אֶת-קְצִיר אַרְצְכֶם לֹֽא-תְכַלֶּה פְּאַת שָֽׂדְךָ בְּקֻצְרֶךָ וְלֶקֶט קְצִֽירְךָ לֹא תְלַקֵּט לֶֽעָנִי וְלַגֵּר תַּֽעֲזֹב אֹתָם אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם׃
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
וְנֹקֵב שֵׁם-יְהוָה מוֹת יוּמָת רָגוֹם יִרְגְּמוּ-בוֹ כָּל-הָֽעֵדָה כַּגֵּר כָּֽאֶזְרָח בְּנָקְבוֹ-שֵׁם יוּמָֽת׃
And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
מִשְׁפַּט אֶחָד יִֽהְיֶה לָכֶם כַּגֵּר כָּֽאֶזְרָח יִֽהְיֶה כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם׃
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.
וְהָאָרֶץ לֹא תִמָּכֵר לִצְמִתֻת כִּי-לִי הָאָרֶץ כִּֽי-גֵרִים וְתֽוֹשָׁבִים אַתֶּם עִמָּדִֽי׃
The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
וְכִֽי-יָמוּךְ אָחִיךָ וּמָטָה יָדוֹ עִמָּךְ וְהֶֽחֱזַקְתָּ בּוֹ גֵּר וְתוֹשָׁב וָחַי עִמָּֽךְ׃
And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
וְכִי תַשִּׂיג יַד גֵּר וְתוֹשָׁב עִמָּךְ וּמָךְ אָחִיךָ עִמּוֹ וְנִמְכַּר לְגֵר תּוֹשָׁב עִמָּךְ אוֹ לְעֵקֶר מִשְׁפַּחַת גֵּֽר׃
And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
וּבִנְסֹעַ הַמִּשְׁכָּן יוֹרִידוּ אֹתוֹ הַלְוִיִּם וּבַֽחֲנֹת הַמִּשְׁכָּן יָקִימוּ אֹתוֹ הַלְוִיִּם וְהַזָּר הַקָּרֵב יוּמָֽת׃
And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
וַיָּמָת נָדָב וַֽאֲבִיהוּא לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּֽהַקְרִבָם אֵשׁ זָרָה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּמִדְבַּר סִינַי וּבָנִים לֹֽא-הָיוּ לָהֶם וַיְכַהֵן אֶלְעָזָר וְאִיתָמָר עַל-פְּנֵי אַֽהֲרֹן אֲבִיהֶֽם׃
And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
וְאֶת-אַֽהֲרֹן וְאֶת-בָּנָיו תִּפְקֹד וְשָֽׁמְרוּ אֶת-כְּהֻנָּתָם וְהַזָּר הַקָּרֵב יוּמָֽת׃
And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
וְהַֽחֹנִים לִפְנֵי הַמִּשְׁכָּן קֵדְמָה לִפְנֵי אֹֽהֶל-מוֹעֵד׀ מִזְרָחָה מֹשֶׁה׀ וְאַֽהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו שֹֽׁמְרִים מִשְׁמֶרֶת הַמִּקְדָּשׁ לְמִשְׁמֶרֶת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַזָּר הַקָּרֵב יוּמָֽת׃
But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
וְכִֽי-יָגוּר אִתְּכֶם גֵּר וְעָשָֽׂה פֶסַח לַֽיהוָה כְּחֻקַּת הַפֶּסַח וּכְמִשְׁפָּטוֹ כֵּן יַֽעֲשֶׂה חֻקָּה אַחַת יִֽהְיֶה לָכֶם וְלַגֵּר וּלְאֶזְרַח הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
וְכִֽי-יָגוּר אִתְּכֶם גֵּר אוֹ אֲשֶׁר-בְּתֽוֹכְכֶם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם וְעָשָׂה אִשֵּׁה רֵֽיחַ-נִיחֹחַ לַֽיהוָה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר תַּֽעֲשׂוּ כֵּן יַֽעֲשֶֽׂה׃
And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
הַקָּהָל חֻקָּה אַחַת לָכֶם וְלַגֵּר הַגָּר חֻקַּת עוֹלָם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם כָּכֶם כַּגֵּר יִֽהְיֶה לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃
One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
תּוֹרָה אַחַת וּמִשְׁפָּט אֶחָד יִֽהְיֶה לָכֶם וְלַגֵּר הַגָּר אִתְּכֶֽם׃
One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
וְנִסְלַח לְכָל-עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּתוֹכָם כִּי לְכָל-הָעָם בִּשְׁגָגָֽה׃
And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
הָֽאֶזְרָח בִּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּתוֹכָם תּוֹרָה אַחַת יִֽהְיֶה לָכֶם לָֽעֹשֶׂה בִּשְׁגָגָֽה׃
Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
וְהַנֶּפֶשׁ אֲשֶֽׁר-תַּעֲשֶׂה׀ בְּיָד רָמָה מִן-הָֽאֶזְרָח וּמִן-הַגֵּר אֶת-יְהוָה הוּא מְגַדֵּף וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מִקֶּרֶב עַמָּֽהּ׃
But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.
וְנִלְווּ עָלֶיךָ וְשָֽׁמְרוּ אֶת-מִשְׁמֶרֶת אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד לְכֹל עֲבֹדַת הָאֹהֶל וְזָר לֹֽא-יִקְרַב אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
וְכִבֶּס הָֽאֹסֵף אֶת-אֵפֶר הַפָּרָה אֶת-בְּגָדָיו וְטָמֵא עַד-הָעָרֶב וְֽהָיְתָה לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּתוֹכָם לְחֻקַּת עוֹלָֽם׃
And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
וַיָּמָת נָדָב וַֽאֲבִיהוּא בְּהַקְרִיבָם אֵשׁ-זָרָה לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃
And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the LORD.
לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלַגֵּר וְלַתּוֹשָׁב בְּתוֹכָם תִּֽהְיֶינָה שֵׁשׁ-הֶֽעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה לְמִקְלָט לָנוּס שָׁמָּה כָּל-מַכֵּה-נֶפֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָֽה׃
These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
וָֽאֲצַוֶּה אֶת-שֹׁפְטֵיכֶם בָּעֵת הַהִוא לֵאמֹר שָׁמֹעַ בֵּין-אֲחֵיכֶם וּשְׁפַטְתֶּם צֶדֶק בֵּֽין-אִישׁ וּבֵין-אָחִיו וּבֵין גֵּרֽוֹ׃
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
וְיוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי שַׁבָּת׀ לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לֹא תַֽעֲשֶׂה כָל-מְלָאכָה אַתָּה וּבִנְךָֽ-וּבִתֶּךָ וְעַבְדְּךָֽ-וַאֲמָתֶךָ וְשֽׁוֹרְךָ וַחֲמֹֽרְךָ וְכָל-בְּהֶמְתֶּךָ וְגֵֽרְךָ אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ לְמַעַן יָנוּחַ עַבְדְּךָ וַאֲמָֽתְךָ כָּמֽוֹךָ׃
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
עֹשֶׂה מִשְׁפַּט יָתוֹם וְאַלְמָנָה וְאֹהֵב גֵּר לָתֶת לוֹ לֶחֶם וְשִׂמְלָֽה׃
He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
וַֽאֲהַבְתֶּם אֶת-הַגֵּר כִּֽי-גֵרִים הֱיִיתֶם בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
לֹא תֹֽאכְלוּ כָל-נְבֵלָה לַגֵּר אֲשֶׁר-בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ תִּתְּנֶנָּה וַֽאֲכָלָהּ אוֹ מָכֹר לְנָכְרִי כִּי עַם קָדוֹשׁ אַתָּה לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לֹֽא-תְבַשֵּׁל גְּדִי בַּֽחֲלֵב אִמּֽוֹ׃
Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
וּבָא הַלֵּוִי כִּי אֵֽין-לוֹ חֵלֶק וְנַֽחֲלָה עִמָּךְ וְהַגֵּר וְהַיָּתוֹם וְהָֽאַלְמָנָה אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ וְאָֽכְלוּ וְשָׂבֵעוּ לְמַעַן יְבָֽרֶכְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּכָל-מַֽעֲשֵׂה יָֽדְךָ אֲשֶׁר תַּֽעֲשֶֽׂה׃
And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
וְשָֽׂמַחְתָּ לִפְנֵי׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אַתָּה וּבִנְךָ וּבִתֶּךָ וְעַבְדְּךָ וַֽאֲמָתֶךָ וְהַלֵּוִי אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ וְהַגֵּר וְהַיָּתוֹם וְהָֽאַלְמָנָה אֲשֶׁר בְּקִרְבֶּךָ בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִבְחַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְשַׁכֵּן שְׁמוֹ שָֽׁם׃
And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
וְשָֽׂמַחְתָּ בְּחַגֶּךָ אַתָּה וּבִנְךָ וּבִתֶּךָ וְעַבְדְּךָ וַֽאֲמָתֶךָ וְהַלֵּוִי וְהַגֵּר וְהַיָּתוֹם וְהָֽאַלְמָנָה אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶֽיךָ׃
And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
לֹֽא-תְתַעֵב אֲדֹמִי כִּי אָחִיךָ הוּא לֹֽא-תְתַעֵב מִצְרִי כִּי-גֵר הָיִיתָ בְאַרְצֽוֹ׃
Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
לֹֽא-תַעֲשֹׁק שָׂכִיר עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן מֵֽאַחֶיךָ אוֹ מִגֵּֽרְךָ אֲשֶׁר בְּאַרְצְךָ בִּשְׁעָרֶֽיךָ׃
Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:
לֹא תַטֶּה מִשְׁפַּט גֵּר יָתוֹם וְלֹא תַֽחֲבֹל בֶּגֶד אַלְמָנָֽה׃
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
כִּי תִקְצֹר קְצִֽירְךָ בְשָׂדֶךָ וְשָֽׁכַחְתָּ עֹמֶר בַּשָּׂדֶה לֹא תָשׁוּב לְקַחְתּוֹ לַגֵּר לַיָּתוֹם וְלָֽאַלְמָנָה יִֽהְיֶה לְמַעַן יְבָֽרֶכְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּכֹל מַֽעֲשֵׂה יָדֶֽיךָ׃
When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
כִּי תַחְבֹּט זֵֽיתְךָ לֹא תְפָאֵר אַֽחֲרֶיךָ לַגֵּר לַיָּתוֹם וְלָֽאַלְמָנָה יִֽהְיֶֽה׃
When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
כִּי תִבְצֹר כַּרְמְךָ לֹא תְעוֹלֵל אַֽחֲרֶיךָ לַגֵּר לַיָּתוֹם וְלָֽאַלְמָנָה יִֽהְיֶֽה׃
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
כִּֽי-יֵשְׁבוּ אַחִים יַחְדָּו וּמֵת אַחַד מֵהֶם וּבֵן אֵֽין-לוֹ לֹֽא-תִהְיֶה אֵֽשֶׁת-הַמֵּת הַחוּצָה לְאִישׁ זָר יְבָמָהּ יָבֹא עָלֶיהָ וּלְקָחָהּ לוֹ לְאִשָּׁה וְיִבְּמָֽהּ׃
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.
וְשָֽׂמַחְתָּ בְכָל-הַטּוֹב אֲשֶׁר נָֽתַן-לְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וּלְבֵיתֶךָ אַתָּה וְהַלֵּוִי וְהַגֵּר אֲשֶׁר בְּקִרְבֶּֽךָ׃
And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
כִּי תְכַלֶּה לַעְשֵׂר אֶת-כָּל-מַעְשַׂר תְּבוּאָֽתְךָ בַּשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁלִישִׁת שְׁנַת הַֽמַּעֲשֵׂר וְנָֽתַתָּה לַלֵּוִי לַגֵּר לַיָּתוֹם וְלָֽאַלְמָנָה וְאָֽכְלוּ בִשְׁעָרֶיךָ וְשָׂבֵֽעוּ׃
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
וְאָֽמַרְתָּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בִּעַרְתִּי הַקֹּדֶשׁ מִן-הַבַּיִת וְגַם נְתַתִּיו לַלֵּוִי וְלַגֵּר לַיָּתוֹם וְלָֽאַלְמָנָה כְּכָל-מִצְוָֽתְךָ אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתָנִי לֹֽא-עָבַרְתִּי מִמִּצְוֹתֶיךָ וְלֹא שָׁכָֽחְתִּי׃
Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
אָרוּר מַטֶּה מִשְׁפַּט גֵּר-יָתוֹם וְאַלְמָנָה וְאָמַר כָּל-הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃
Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
הַגֵּר אֲשֶׁר בְּקִרְבְּךָ יַֽעֲלֶה עָלֶיךָ מַעְלָה מָּעְלָה וְאַתָּה תֵרֵד מַטָּה מָּֽטָּה׃
The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
טַפְּכֶם נְשֵׁיכֶם וְגֵרְךָ אֲשֶׁר בְּקֶרֶב מַֽחֲנֶיךָ מֵֽחֹטֵב עֵצֶיךָ עַד שֹׁאֵב מֵימֶֽיךָ׃
Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
הַקְהֵל אֶת-הָעָם הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וְהַנָּשִׁים וְהַטַּף וְגֵֽרְךָ אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ לְמַעַן יִשְׁמְעוּ וּלְמַעַן יִלְמְדוּ וְיָֽרְאוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְשָֽׁמְרוּ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֶת-כָּל-דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּֽאת׃
Gather together, the people men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
יַקְנִאֻהוּ בְּזָרִים בְּתֽוֹעֵבֹת יַכְעִיסֻֽהוּ׃
They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וּזְקֵנָיו וְשֹֽׁטְרִים׀ וְשֹֽׁפְטָיו עֹֽמְדִים מִזֶּה׀ וּמִזֶּה׀ לָֽאָרוֹן נֶגֶד הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם נֹֽשְׂאֵי׀ אֲרוֹן בְּרִית-יְהוָה כַּגֵּר כָּֽאֶזְרָח חֶצְיוֹ אֶל-מוּל הַר-גְּרִזִים וְהַֽחֶצְיוֹ אֶל-מוּל הַר-עֵיבָל כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה מֹשֶׁה עֶֽבֶד-יְהוָה לְבָרֵךְ אֶת-הָעָם יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּרִֽאשֹׁנָֽה׃
And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
לֹֽא-הָיָה דָבָר מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר-צִוָּה מֹשֶׁה אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-קָרָא יְהוֹשֻׁעַ נֶגֶד כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַנָּשִׁים וְהַטַּף וְהַגֵּר הַֽהֹלֵךְ בְּקִרְבָּֽם׃
There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
אֵלֶּה הָיוּ עָרֵי הַמּֽוּעָדָה לְכֹל׀ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּתוֹכָם לָנוּס שָׁמָּה כָּל-מַכֵּה-נֶפֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָה וְלֹא יָמוּת בְּיַד גֹּאֵל הַדָּם עַד-עָמְדוֹ לִפְנֵי הָֽעֵדָֽה׃
These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-הַנַּעַר הַמַּגִּיד לוֹ אֵי מִזֶּה אָתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר בֶּן-אִישׁ גֵּר עֲמָֽלֵקִי אָנֹֽכִי׃
And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
וַיְהִי בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לְלִדְתִּי וַתֵּלֶד גַּם-הָֽאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת וַֽאֲנַחְנוּ יַחְדָּו אֵֽין-זָר אִתָּנוּ בַּבַּיִת זֽוּלָתִי שְׁתַּֽיִם-אֲנַחְנוּ בַּבָּֽיִת׃
And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
אֲנִי קַרְתִּי וְשָׁתִיתִי מַיִם זָרִים וְאַחְרִב בְּכַף-פְּעָמַי כֹּל יְאֹרֵי מָצֽוֹר׃
I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד לִכְנוֹס אֶת-הַגֵּרִים אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּֽעֲמֵד חֹֽצְבִים לַחְצוֹב אַבְנֵי גָזִית לִבְנוֹת בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
כִּֽי-גֵרִים אֲנַחְנוּ לְפָנֶיךָ וְתֽוֹשָׁבִים כְּכָל-אֲבֹתֵינוּ כַּצֵּל׀ יָמֵינוּ עַל-הָאָרֶץ וְאֵין מִקְוֶֽה׃
For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.
וַיִּסְפֹּר שְׁלֹמֹה כָּל-הָֽאֲנָשִׁים הַגֵּירִים אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל אַֽחֲרֵי הַסְּפָר אֲשֶׁר סְפָרָם דָּוִיד אָבִיו וַיִּמָּֽצְאוּ מֵאָה וַֽחֲמִשִּׁים אֶלֶף וּשְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים וְשֵׁשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.
וַֽיִּשְׂמְחוּ׀ כָּל-קְהַל יְהוּדָה וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-הַקָּהָל הַבָּאִים מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל וְהַגֵּרִים הַבָּאִים מֵאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַיּֽוֹשְׁבִים בִּֽיהוּדָֽה׃
And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
לָהֶם לְבַדָּם נִתְּנָה הָאָרֶץ וְלֹא-עָבַר זָר בְּתוֹכָֽם׃
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
אַחַי מֵעָלַי הִרְחִיק וְיֹדְעַי אַךְ-זָרוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
גָּרֵי בֵיתִי וְאַמְהֹתַי לְזָר תַּחְשְׁבֻנִי נָכְרִי הָיִיתִי בְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
רוּחִֽי זָרָה לְאִשְׁתִּי וְחַנֹּתִי לִבְנֵי בִטְנִֽי׃
My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי׀ אֶֽחֱזֶה-לִּי וְעֵינַי רָאוּ וְלֹא-זָר כָּלוּ כִלְיֹתַי בְּחֵקִֽי׃
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
בַּחוּץ לֹא-יָלִין גֵּר דְּלָתַי לָאֹרַח אֶפְתָּֽח׃
The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
שִׁמְעָֽה תְפִלָּתִי׀ יְהוָה וְשַׁוְעָתִי׀ הַאֲזִינָה אֶֽל-דִּמְעָתִי אַֽל-תֶּחֱרַשׁ כִּי גֵר אָנֹכִי עִמָּךְ תּוֹשָׁב כְּכָל-אֲבוֹתָֽי׃
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
אִם-שָׁכַחְנוּ שֵׁם אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַנִּפְרֹשׂ כַּפֵּינוּ לְאֵל זָֽר׃
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
כִּי זָרִים׀ קָמוּ עָלַי וְֽעָרִיצִים בִּקְשׁוּ נַפְשִׁי לֹא שָׂמוּ אֱלֹהִים לְנֶגְדָּם סֶֽלָה׃
For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
זֹרוּ רְשָׁעִים מֵרָחֶם תָּעוּ מִבֶּטֶן דֹּבְרֵי כָזָֽב׃
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
מוּזָר הָיִיתִי לְאֶחָי וְנָכְרִי לִבְנֵי אִמִּֽי׃
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
לֹא-זָרוּ מִתַּאֲוָתָם עוֹד אָכְלָם בְּפִיהֶֽם׃
They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
לֹֽא-יִהְיֶה בְךָ אֵל זָר וְלֹא תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לְאֵל נֵכָֽר׃
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
אַלְמָנָה וְגֵר יַהֲרֹגוּ וִֽיתוֹמִים יְרַצֵּֽחוּ׃
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
