14<\/strong>. a stranger<\/em> ] a<\/em> sojourner.<\/strong> For this word and the ‘homeborn,’ see on Num 9:14<\/span>.<\/p>\n or whosoever be among you<\/em> ] This appears to mean one who is residing in the land but has not been granted the definite status of a gr<\/em> or ‘sojourner.’ Some, with less probability, understand it of a foreigner who is staying temporarily with Israelites.<\/p>\n throughout your generations<\/em> ] i.e. at any future time.<\/p>\n Verse 14<\/span>. If a stranger sojourn<\/B><\/I>] See the notes on Le 19:33; Le 22:9. When the case of the Jewish people is fairly considered, and their situation with respect to the surrounding idolatrous nations, we shall see the absolute necessity of having but one form<\/I> of worship<\/I> in the land. That alone was genuine which was prescribed by the Almighty, and no others could be tolerated, because they were idolatrous. All strangers <\/I>– all that came to sojourn<\/I> in the land, were required to conform to it; and it was right that those who did conform to it should have equal rights and privileges with the Hebrews themselves, which we find was the case. But under the Christian dispensation, as no particular form<\/I> of worship is prescribed, the types and ceremonies of the Mosaic institution being all fulfilled, unlimited toleration should be allowed; and while the sacred writings are made the basis of the worship offered to God, every man should be allowed to worship according to his own conscience, for in this respect every one is <\/P> “Lord of himself, accountable to none<\/P> But to his conscience and his God alone.” <\/P> <\/p>\n A stranger, <\/B>to wit, proselyte, for such offerings were not accepted from others. <\/P> <\/p>\n And if a stranger sojourn with you<\/strong>,…. A stranger, or proselyte, not of the gate, but of righteousness, as Ben Gersom and the Jewish, writers in general interpret it;<\/p>\n or whatsoever [be] among you in your generations<\/strong>; whether such a proselyte settled and continued among them, or only stayed with them awhile:<\/p>\n and will offer an offering made by fire of a sweet savour unto the Lord<\/strong>; is desirous of offering a burnt offering or a peace offering to the Lord in an acceptable manner:<\/p>\n as ye do, so shall he do<\/strong>; bring the same meat offering and drink offering, according to the nature and number of the cattle he brings for sacrifice.<\/p>\n 14. And if a stranger sojourn with you. He does not mean all strangers, but only those who, descending from heathen nations, had professedly turned to God, and thus had been received into the body of the Church; for the uncleanness of those who remained in uncircumcision excluded them from the legal service. I conceive that there were two reasons why God would have one and the same form observed; first, that the proselytes who had been lately incorporated might more cheerfully devote themselves to the exercises of piety, when they saw themselves placed in the same position as the children of Abraham; and secondly, lest if any distinction should be made, corrupt mixtures should immediately creep in. Lest, therefore, the purity of God’s worship should be gradually corrupted by absurd imitation, the gate was shut against that variety which usually draws men aside in different directions. <\/p>\n Num 15:14<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>If a stranger sojourn with you<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> This evidently means a stranger proselyted to the Jewish religion; and by the wisdom of this law, it is not only provided, that there should be no distinction between the natives and such proselytes, but also that there should be no innovations in the Jewish religion; for had not strangers, who resided within the Jewish territories, been obliged to conform to the same ceremonies of public worship with the Jews, their example might have had a pernicious influence, to corrupt that form of worship which was instituted by God himself. <\/p>\n offer = prepare. Hebrew. ‘asah. App-43. <\/p>\n as = according as. <\/p>\n he = the stranger. <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Lev 22:18 – of the strangers Lev 22:25 – a stranger’s<\/p>\n Num 15:14. If a stranger sojourn with you It is plain this is to be understood of such strangers as had renounced idolatry and become proselytes to the worship of the true God. And if strangers, who were intermixed with the Jews, and resided in their country, had not been obliged to conform to the same ceremonies of public worship with the Jews, their example might, by degrees, have produced a change in, and corruption of, that form of worship which God himself had instituted.<\/p>\n And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever [be] among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do. 14. a stranger ] a sojourner.
