NETBible

“You must not oppress¹ a foreigner, since you know the life² of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

NET Notes

¹tn The verb means “to crush.” S. R. Driver notes that in this context this would probably mean with an unfair judgment in the courts (Exodus, 239).

²tn Heb “soul, life” – “you know what it feels like.”
