Leviticus (aka "the book of the Law&quot 19, 33:

33 “‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

other translations read "You shall not have one law for the native born, and another law for the Sojourner. For you yourselves were sojourners in Egypt"
