Barnes's Leviticus 25:35 Bible Commentary
Rather, And if thy brother (an Israelite) becomes poor and falls into decay with thee, thou shalt assist him and let him live with thee like a resident foreigner. He was not to be regarded as an outcast, but was to be treated with the same respect and consideration as a resident foreigner who, like him, could possess no land, but could accumulate property and live in comfort as a free man. See Leviticus 16:29 note.
Wesley's Leviticus 25:35 Bible Commentary
25:35 A sojourner - Understand it of proselytes only, for of other strangers they were permitted to take usury, Deu 23:20.
