Exodus 12:49 meaning and explanation

The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

Exodus 12:49, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

The LORD is speaking to Moses and Aaron as Israel prepares to leave Egypt, setting out who may eat the Passover. Verses 43 to 48 exclude the uncircumcised foreigner, the temporary resident and the hired hand, yet they allow a purchased slave and a circumcised foreigner to join, and this verse draws the conclusion: one law governs native and foreigner alike.
