Foreigners

In the Old Testament, there are several texts about the foreigners. Who are these foreigners? How do we define foreigners in the book of Deuteronomy? During the time of Moses, he is leading the twelve tribes out of bondage and into the promised land. The foreigners are individuals that were not born in one of the twelve tribes, but are willing to follow the laws of the Hebrews. In the Old Testament, God is an accepting God. He allowed individuals to follow the Hebrews that desired to know Him. God made laws to protect them as His people.
