Notice how the Law asked for more than mere tolerance of non - Israelites residing in the land, when it said: “The alien resident who resides as an alien with you should become to you like a native of yours; and you must love him as yourself, for you became alien residents in the land of Egypt. ”
Pangem tähele, et käsuseadus nõudis enamat kui vaid sallivat suhtumist sellel maal elavatesse mitteiisraellastesse: „Võõras, kes asub teie juures, olgu teie keskel nagu päriselanik; armasta teda nagu iseennast, sest te ise olete olnud võõrad Egiptusemaal ”.
