The words that the Hebrew language uses for “stranger” testifies to a nuanced perception of this overall category and also a nuanced attitude toward different kinds of “strangers.” The methodology applied is the Social Identity Approach, that focuses on intergroup relationship, and, the concept of Proximate Other. Among the “others,” the biblical Laws’ corpora give particular attention to gēr. The gēr is “other,” but he/she dwells within the Israelite in-group and shares with it his/her everyday life. Nine rules add a motive clause which refers to the experiential background of Jacob’s clan in Egypt. Four of these motive clauses refer to Israelites as gērîm and come at the end of rules about only the gēr in Israel’s land. The theological background is expressed in Lev 25:23, which uses the word gērîm for the relationship between God and his people. The proposal of the Bible is to bring near the “stranger,” so that the “stranger” is not more an “extraneous.”itCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwaSocial Identity ApproachProximate Othergērbiblical lawmotive clausesGen 46-47Exod 1:1-11experiencerelationship with the OtherOtherstrangertheologyBook of GenesisBook of ExodusBibleOld Testamentbiblical studiesexegesisbiblical exegesisprawo biblijneklauzule motywudoświadczenierelacja z InnymInnyobcyteologiaKsięga RodzajuKsięga WyjściaBibliaPismo ŚwięteStary Testamentbiblistykaegzegezaegzegeza biblijnaRdz 46-47Wj 1prossimo vicinolegislazione biblicaclausole motivazionaliEs 1:1-11Article
