¹⁵ If an escaped slave comes to you, do not hand over the slave to his master. ¹⁶ Let the slave live with you anywhere he likes, in any town he chooses. Do not mistreat him. ¹⁷ No Israelite man or woman must ever become a temple prostitute. ¹⁸ Do not bring a male or female prostitute's pay to the Temple of the Lord your God to pay what you have promised to the Lord , because the Lord your God hates prostitution. ¹⁹ If you loan your fellow Israelites money or food or anything else, don't make them pay back more than you loaned them. ²⁰ You may charge foreigners, but not fellow Israelites.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He shall dwell in thee, [even] among you,.... This seems to confirm the sense of it, being a stranger, a: proselyte servant that is here spoken of, since the law provides for his dwelling among the Israelites:

in that place he shall choose, in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: he was not to be detained by the person that took him up in his own house, or be obliged to dwell in any certain place under, a restraint, but he might take up his abode in any of the cities of Israel, which would be most for his good, profit, and advantage:

thou shalt not oppress him; by words, as the Targum of Jonathan adds,

"calling him a fugitive servant, or by any opprobrious name.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The case in question is that of a slave who fled from a pagan master to the holy land. It is of course assumed that the refugee was not flying from justice, but only from the tyranny of his lord.
