19:27 Tearing out the hair of one’s beard, as well as of the head, was a custom associated with mourning over the dead (see 21:5; Dt 14:1; Is 15:2; 22:12; Jr 16:6; Am 8:10).
19:33 The “alien” (Hb ger) in the Bible was most often a foreign merchant, craftsman, or mercenary soldier. This term never refers to the prior inhabitants of the land. Generous actions to foreigners were motivated by the memory of the Israelite sojourn in Egypt (Ex 23:9; Dt 5:14-15).
