GER gûr (גֵּר, H1731, sojourner, alien). The transliteration “ger” does not occur in standard Eng. VSS, as it is tr., generally by “stranger.” In Israel, the גֵּר, H1731, was generally subject to the same laws as nationals (Num 15:15, 16) and was to be well-treated (Deut 10:17-19), as Israel had been a sojourner in Egypt. Israelites were considered sojourners (“gerim”) with God (Lev 25:23). Note concept in NT (Eph 2:19; 1 Pet 2:11). See Sojourner.
