Berean Standard Bible
“Do not oppress a foreign resident, since you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.”
Exodus 23 continues the case laws with commands about honest courts, kindness to enemies' animals, and the Sabbath year. The command about foreigners appears again here, repeating and reinforcing what was said earlier.
