Commentary on Leviticus 19:33

Theological / Devotional

A stranger. Strangers of old were generally looked upon with suspicion. Why had the stranger left home? Had he committed some crime? Was he a fugitive from justice? Was he a runaway slave? Naturally questions arose in a day when few ventured far from their ancestral hills and valleys. The stranger was on the defensive, but God’s people were not to vex him.
