Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

This was an invitation to the Gentiles to become proselytes, and to embrace the faith and worship of the true God. In civil things there was a difference between strangers and true-born Israelites, but not in the things of God; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord, for with him there is no respect of persons.

This site's exposition

All that are born of the country

on Numbers 15:13-16

One ordinance covers the homeborn and the stranger, and four verses say it three times over. Exodus 12:49 had given one law to the homeborn and the stranger for the passover, and here the same rule reaches every offering made by fire. Henry reads the words as an open door to the Gentiles, since Israel kept a difference in civil matters and kept none before the Lord.
