SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:14
Y cuando habitare con vosotros extranjero, o cualquiera que estuviere entre vosotros por vuestras edades, si hiciere ofrenda encendida de olor grato al SEÑOR, como vosotros hiciereis, así hará él.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 15:14
Verse 14. If a stranger sojourn] See the notes on Leviticus xix. 33;xxii. 9. When the case of the Jewish people is fairly considered, and their situation with respect to the surrounding idolatrous nations, we shall see the absolute necessity of having but one form of worship in the land. That alone was genuine which was prescribed by the Almighty, and no others could be tolerated, because they were idolatrous. All strangers-all that came to sojourn in the land, were required to conform to it; and it was right that those who did conform to it should have equal rights and privileges with the Hebrews themselves, which we find was the case. But under the Christian dispensation, as no particular form of worship is prescribed, the types and ceremonies of the Mosaic institution being all fulfilled, unlimited toleration should be allowed; and while the sacred writings are made the basis of the worship offered to God, every man should be allowed to worship according to his own conscience, for in this respect every one is "Lord of himself, accountable to none But to his conscience and his God alone."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And if a stranger sojourn with you , etc.] A stranger, or proselyte, not of the gate, but of righteousness, as Ben Gersom and the Jewish, writers in general interpret it; or whatsoever [be] among you in your generations ; whether such a proselyte settled and continued among them, or only stayed with them awhile: and will offer an offering made by fire of a sweet savour unto the Lord ; is desirous of offering a burnt offering or a peace offering to the Lord in an acceptable manner: as ye do, so shall he do ; bring the same meat offering and drink offering, according to the nature and number of the cattle he brings for sacrifice.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-21 - Full instructions are given about the meat-offerings an drink-offerings. The beginning of this law is very encouraging, When y come into the land of your habitation which I give unto you. This was plain intimation that God would secure the promised land to their seed It was requisite, since the sacrifices of acknowledgment were intende as the food of God's table, that there should be a constant supply of bread, oil, and wine, whatever the flesh-meat was. And the intent of this law is to direct the proportions of the meat-offering an drink-offering. Natives and strangers are placed on a level in this a in other like matters. It was a happy forewarning of the calling of the Gentiles, and of their admission into the church. If the law made s little difference between Jew and Gentile, much less would the gospel which broke down the partition-wall, and reconciled both to God.
