Aliens in the Old Testament

Abstract

The Old Testament testifies that Israel lived among strangers. This was not only true during the pre-royal era (Abraham, Moses), but also after the exile (Ezra, Nehemiah). The relationship with the other peoples was determined by a coexistence and togetherness, as the respective situation entailed. It entered the realm of theological evaluation when it affected Israel’s faith in its God Yahweh. The relationship to the individual stranger, who is the first and concrete concern of the Israelite, and to the foreign peoples is different.
