Contextual Overview

⁴³ The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover: no foreigner is to eat of it; ⁴⁴ but every man's slave purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat of it. ⁴⁵ "A sojourner or a hired servant shall not eat of it.⁴⁶ "It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring forth any of the flesh outside of the house, nor are you to break any bone of it. ⁴⁷ "All the congregation of Israel are to celebrate this. ⁴⁸ "But if a stranger sojourns with you, and celebrates the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it. ⁴⁹ "The same law shall apply to the native as to the stranger who sojourns among you." ⁵⁰ Then all the sons of Israel did so; they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron. ⁵¹ And on that same day the LORD brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.

Leviticus 22:10, Ephesians 2:12

Gill's Notes on the Bible

A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. One of another nation, and one that was only hired by the day, week, or year; as they were not obliged to circumcision, so without it they had no right to eat of the passover, none but such as became proselytes of righteousness.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A foreigner - or sojourner: one who resides in a country, not having a permanent home, nor being attached to an Israelitish household.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 45. A foreigner — תושב toshab, from ישב yashab, to sit down or dwell; one who is a mere sojourner, for the purpose of traffic, merchandise, c., but who is neither a proselyte of the gate nor of the covenant.

And a hired servant — Who, though he be bought with money, or has indented himself for a certain term to serve a Jew, yet has not become either a proselyte of the gate or of the covenant. None of these shall eat of it, because not circumcised - not brought under the bond of the covenant and not being under obligation to observe the Mosaic law, had no right to its privileges and blessings. Even under the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, he is the author of eternal salvation only to them who OBEY him, Hebrews 5:9; and those who become Christians are chosen to salvation through SANCTIFICATION of the Spirit, and belief of the truth, 2 Thessalonians 2:13; for the grace of God, that bringeth salvation to all men, hath appeared, teaching us that, DENYING UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY LUSTS we should live SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY, and GODLY, in this present world; Titus 2:11-12. Such persons only walk worthy of the vocation wherewith they are called.
