A Story of Hope: Part 4 of 4
Any immigrant who lives with you must be treated as if they were one of your citizens. You must love them as yourself, because you were immigrants in the land of Egypt…”
(Leviticus 19:34, CEB).
Leviticus 19:34 is one of 400 verses in the Bible that addresses the care of immigrants. Providing for the poor is the only subject that is mentioned more frequently. The book of Ruth itself is devoted to the manner by which God expects His people to treat foreigners.

Do you still love me?” The child’s words broke her new parents’ hearts.
