NETBible

“You must not wrong 1  a foreigner 2  nor oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

NET Notes

1 tn Or “oppress.”

2 tn Or “alien,” both here and in 23:9. This individual is a resident foreigner; he lives in the land but, aside from provisions such as this, might easily be without legal rights.
