I recently came upon this passage, using my regular Bible reading plan:
Ezekiel 47:21 “So you shall divide this land to yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 It
will happen, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you
and to the aliens who live among you, who will father children among
you. Then they shall be to you as the native-born among the children of
Israel. They shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 It shall happen, that in whatever tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord Yahweh.
It seems that these verses should be considered in thinking about what the Bible says about treatment of foreigners, aliens and strangers. See here for a previous post, pointing out other several other passages which are probably pertinent.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
