Gill's Notes on the Bible
[But] a stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you,.... Especially if a proselyte of righteousness; for then he enjoyed the same privileges, civil and religious, the Israelites did, for there was one law for them both, Exodus 12:49:
and thou shalt love him as thyself; and show it by doing all the good things for him they would have done for themselves in like circumstances:
for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: and therefore knew what hardships such were exposed unto; and it became them to put on bowels of compassion, and show pity to those in a like condition, and particularly consider, as Jarchi suggests, that they were idolaters there also, and therefore ought not to upbraid strangers with their former idolatry:
I [am] the Lord your God; who showed kindness to them when strangers in Egypt, and had brought them out of that land, and therefore ought to obey his commands, and particularly in this instance.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The stranger - The foreigner. See Leviticus 16:29 note; Exodus 23:9.
