Foreigners
We immediately see that teaching spirit of God as we keep in mind that he is teaching the Israelites how to live a life of purity in closeness with him.
The terms “foreigner” and “sojourner” are used somewhat interchangeably in the Old Testament as we read different translations.
A sojourner is defined as someone residing in a land or community that is not their own and is dependent on the goodwill of said community for their care or survival.
A foreigner is defined more generally as someone born in another country or place but residing in a different place. Either way, these are people that are not settled or rooted.
Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus frequently reference these people residing in a new land. Most commonly, they are people driven away from their homes due to famine or change (Genesis 12:10) or due to missions or appointments from God (Genesis 26:3, the dispersion of the apostles).
