Deuteronomy 15:3

A foreigner ; a stranger of another nation, having no internal social relation to Israel ( נָכְרִי ), as distinguished from the stranger who lived among them and had claims on their benevolence ( גֵּר ). Of such they might exact a debt, without regard to the year of release. "This rule breathes no hatred of foreigners, but simply allows the Israelites the right of every creditor to demand his debts and enforce the demand upon foreigners, even in the sabbatical year. There was no severity in this, because foreigners could get their ordinary income in the seventh year as well as in any other" (Keil).
