22. You will divide it as a property for yourselves. And it will be for you and for the foreigners who live and have children among you. These foreigners will be like people born in Israel. You will divide some land for them among the tribes of Israel.
23. In whatever tribe the foreigner lives, you will give him some land,” says the Lord God.
