Shemot 12:49

49 Torah echad shall be to him that is native-born, and unto the ger that sojourneth among you.

Shemot 12:49 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 12:49

One law shall be to him that is homeborn
A proper Israelite, one that is so by descent: and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you;
that becomes a proselyte to the true religion; these were both bound by the same law, and obliged to observe the same rites and ceremonies, and partook of the same ordinances, benefits, and privileges; this was a dawn of grace to the poor Gentiles, and presignified what would be in Gospel times, when they should be fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, be fellow heirs of the same body, and partakers of the promises of Christ by the Gospel, ( Ephesians 2:19 ) ( Ephesians 3:5 Ephesians 3:6 ) .

48 And when a ger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Pesach unto Hashem, let all his zachar receive bris milah, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is native born in ha’aretz; for no arel (uncircumcised person) shall eat thereof.
49 Torah echad shall be to him that is native-born, and unto the ger that sojourneth among you.
50 Thus did kol Bnei Yisroel; as Hashem commanded Moshe and Aharon, so did they.
51 And it came to pass the very same day, that Hashem did bring the Bnei Yisroel out of Eretz Mitzrayim by their tzivos.
