Then the Levites (because they have no allotment or inheritance with you), the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows of your villages may come and eat their fill so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work you do.

You shall rejoice before him ¹  – you, your son, your daughter, your male and female slaves, the Levites in your villages, ²  the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows among you – in the place where the Lord chooses to locate his name.

Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and leave some unraked grain there, ¹  you must not return to get it; it should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow so that the Lord your God may bless all the work you do. ² 

Then you shall say before the Lord your God, “I have removed the sacred offering ¹  from my house and given it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows just as you have commanded me. ²  I have not violated or forgotten your commandments.

However, you must confess that you have done wrong, ¹  and that you have rebelled against the Lord your God. You must confess ²  that you have given yourself to ³  foreign gods under every green tree, and have not obeyed my commands,’ says the Lord.

You must allot it as an inheritance among yourselves and for the foreigners who reside among you, who have fathered sons among you. You must treat them as native-born among the people of Israel; they will be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. ¹ 

I also established my covenant with them ¹  to give them the land of Canaan, where they were living as resident foreigners. ² 

You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will consume you.

“We will not give our daughters in marriage to the neighboring peoples, and we will not take their daughters in marriage for our sons.

You made us ¹  an object of ridicule ²  among the nations; foreigners treat us with contempt. ³ 

I will give you thanks before the nations, O Master! I will sing praises to you before foreigners! ¹ 

My own brothers treat me like a stranger; they act as if I were a foreigner. ¹ 

I will give you thanks before the nations, O Lord! I will sing praises to you before foreigners! ¹ 

May the creditor seize ¹  all he owns! May strangers loot his property! ² 

Praise the Lord, all you nations! Applaud him, all you foreigners! ² 

But why should you be captivated, ¹  my son, by an adulteress, and embrace the bosom of a different woman? ² 

so that they may keep you ¹  from the adulterous ²  woman, from the loose woman ³  who flatters you ⁴  with her words. ⁵ 

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among foreign countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

I scattered them among the nations; they were dispersed throughout foreign countries. In accordance with their behavior and their deeds I judged them.

Ephraim has mixed itself like flour ¹  among the nations; Ephraim is like a ruined cake of bread that is scorched on one side. ²
