Deuteronomio 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.''

Deuteronomio 23:16 In-Context

14 Porque el SEÑOR tu Dios anda por tu campamento para protegerte y para entregar a tus enemigos en tus manos. Por eso tu campamento debe ser un lugar santo; si el Señor ve algo indecente, se apartará de ti.
15 »Si un esclavo huye de su amo y te pide refugio, no se lo entregues a su amo
16 sino déjalo que viva en medio de ti, en la ciudad que elija y donde se sienta a gusto. Y no lo oprimas.
17 »Ningún hombre o mujer de Israel se dedicará a la prostitución ritual.
18 »No lleves a la casa del SEÑOR tu Dios dineros ganados con estas prácticas, ni pagues con esos dineros ninguna ofrenda prometida, porque unos y otros son abominables al SEÑOR tu Dios.
