The Israelites had experienced a bitter life as foreign residents, but Jehovah expected them to treat the foreigner “like a native ” among them. ​ — Lev. 19: 33, 34.
Iisraellased olid saanud ise maitsta muulase kibedat elu ning nüüd ootas Jehoova neilt, et nad kohtleksid endi seas elavaid muulasi samamoodi nagu iisraellasi.
