Definition: One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before the LORD.

Explanation: Okay, let’s break down this verse from Numbers 15:15. It’s a really important passage about how we should treat those who are visiting or traveling with us. Here's what it means in simpler terms: Basically, this verse is saying: “When you gather together as a group – whether it’s a religious community or a group of travelers – you need to have a specific rule for how to behave towards them.” Let’s unpack that a little further: "One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the congregation..." This means that everyone in your group, regardless of their background, needs to follow the same rules. It's not just about the leaders; it's about everyone being treated with respect and fairness. "...and also for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], an ordinance for ever in your generations:" This is where it gets interesting. "Sojourneth" means to stay temporarily, and “for ever” emphasizes this is a rule that will last throughout their time with you. It’s like a guideline we should always keep. What does this mean practically? Hospitality: The verse encourages us to be welcoming and generous toward those who are visiting or traveling with us. Respect & Fairness: It's not enough to just be friendly; we need to treat everyone equally and with dignity, recognizing they are guests in our community. A Consistent Rule: It’s important that this rule is followed consistently across all groups. In a nutshell, this verse is about demonstrating God's love and care by treating everyone with respect and fairness – both those who belong to your group and those who are visiting. Does that make sense? Do you want me to explain any of these parts in more detail or perhaps give an example? For instance, we could talk about: The context of this verse (it’s part of the Law given to Moses) Why it's important for our relationship with God.
