Deuteronomy 15:3

A foreigner, or stranger, yea, though a proselyte. For,

1. They are oft called by this name, as Genesis 17:12 Ruth 2:10.

2. Though proselytes were admitted to the church privileges of the Israelites, yet they were not admitted to all their civil immunities or privileges. See 1 Chronicles 22:2 2 Chronicles 2:17.

3. Such were not then freed from their personal debt, to wit, of their service, Leviticus 25:44 Deuteronomy 15:12 Jeremiah 34:14, therefore not from their real debt. That which is thine, to wit, by right, though lent to him.
