[48] When a stranger shall live as a foreigner with you, and will keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. [49] One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you."
