Contextual Overview

⁴³ And Yahweh said unto Moses and Aaron: This, is the statute of the passover, - No stranger, shall eat thereof; ⁴⁴ but, every man's servant bought with silver, - when thou hast circumcised him, then, shall he eat thereof: ⁴⁵ An alien or a hireling, shall not eat thereof. ⁴⁶ In one house, shall it be eaten, thou shalt not take forth out of the house any of the flesh outside; and a, bone thereof, shalt thou not break. ⁴⁷ All the assembly of Israel, shall keep it. ⁴⁸ And when there may sojourn with thee a sojourner who may wish to keep a passover to Yahweh, there must be circumcised to him every male and then, may he draw near to keep it, so shall he be as a native of the land, - but no uncircumcised male, shall eat thereof. ⁴⁹ One law, shall there be for the native, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst. ⁵⁰ Thus did all the sons of Israel, - as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they. ⁵¹ And it came to pass, on this self-same day, that Yahweh brought forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by their hosts.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

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.
