He must do the same as you do now, and for all future time. 15These rules will be the same for the Israelites and for all foreign people who live with them. These rules are for now and for all future time. Both you and the foreign person must obey the Lord's rules. There is the same law for you and for the foreign person who is living among you. There is only one set of rules.” ’ 17The Lord said to Moses, 18‘Tell the Israelites this. I am bringing them into the land of Canaan. After they have gone into it, they must obey my rules.
