Shēnméngjì 23:16 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 23:16

He shall dwell in thee, [even] among you
This seems to confirm the sense of it, being a stranger, a: proselyte servant that is here spoken of, since the law provides for his dwelling among the Israelites:

in that place he shall choose, in one of thy gates, where it liketh
him best:
he was not to be detained by the person that took him up in his own house, or be obliged to dwell in any certain place under, a restraint, but he might take up his abode in any of the cities of Israel, which would be most for his good, profit, and advantage:

thou shalt not oppress him;
by words, as the Targum of Jonathan adds,

``calling him a fugitive servant, or by any opprobrious name.''
