| Exodus 12:48
| And if any stranger be willing to dwell among you, and to keep the Phase of the Lord, all his males shall first be circumcised, and then shall he celebrate it according to the manner: and he shall be as he that is born in the land: but if any man be uncircumcised, he shall not eat thereof.
| Dwell, or become a proselyte, by circumcision, if a male; or by baptism, if a female; receiving a sort of new-birth, John 3:10. The Jews would not suffer any to dwell among them, who would not observe the seven precepts given to Noe, Genesis 9. But the proselytes of justice embraced the Jewish religion. (Calmet)
