DEUTERONOMY 23:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.”
He shall reside with you, in any place he chooses in any of your towns, wherever he pleases; you shall not oppress him — the escaped slave becomes an Israelite resident with full protection and freedom of settlement. 'You shall not oppress him' (lo-ta'ashoku) echoes the prohibition against oppressing Israel's own sojourners.
