Talk:Ger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On this page, Hebrew for Ger meaning Proselyte is only one meaning. Translating Ger as Stranger is generally more accepted by scholars in most Biblical contexts (Jewish Publication Society translations of Tanach as compared to Mideival Rashi-driven Artscroll translations), For example, translating it Stranger makes more sense when you read the many uses of Ger in Torah for example in Exodus: "You shall treat a Ger well, as you were Ger in the land of Egypt."
