for "
stranger " (
1 Chr .
22 :
2 ),
i .
e .,
a comer to Palestine ;
a sojourner in the land (
Ex .
12 :
48 ;
20 :
10 ;
22 :
21 ),
and in the New Testament for a convert to Judaism .
There were such converts from early times (
Isa .
56 :
3 ;
Neh .
10 :
28 ;
Esther 8 :
17 ).
The law of Moses made specific regulations regarding the admission into the Jewish church of such as were not born Israelites (
Ex .
20 :
10 ;
23 :
12 ;
12 :
19 ,
48 ;
Deut .
5 :
14 ;
16 :
11 ,
14 ,
etc .).
The Kenites ,
the Gibeonites ,
the Cherethites ,
and the Pelethites were thus admitted to the privileges of Israelites .
Thus also we hear of individual proselytes who rose to positions of prominence in Israel ,
as of Doeg the Edomite ,
Uriah the Hittite ,
Araunah the Jebusite ,
Zelek the Ammonite ,
Ithmah and Ebedmelech the Ethiopians .
In the time of Solomon there were one hundred and fifty -
three thousand six hundred strangers in the land of Israel (
1 Chr .
22 :
2 ;
2 Chr .
2 :
17 ,
18 ).
And the prophets speak of the time as coming when the strangers shall share in all the privileges of Israel (
Ezek .
47 :
22 ;
Isa .
2 :
2 ;
11 :
10 ;
56 :
3 -
6 ;
Micah 4 :
1 ).
Accordingly ,
in New Testament times ,
we read of proselytes in the synagogues , (
Acts 10 :
2 ,
7 ;
13 :
42 ,
43 ,
50 ;
17 :
4 ;
18 :
7 ;
Luke 7 :
5 ).
The "
religious proselytes "
here spoken of were proselytes of righteousness ,
as distinguished from proselytes of the gate .
The distinction between "
proselytes of the gate " (
Ex .
20 :
10 )
and "
proselytes of righteousness "
originated only with the rabbis .
According to them ,
the "
proselytes of the gate " (
half proselytes )
were not required to be circumcised nor to comply with the Mosaic ceremonial law .
They were bound only to conform to the so -
called seven precepts of Noah ,
viz .,
to abstain from idolatry ,
blasphemy ,
bloodshed ,
uncleaness ,
the eating of blood ,
theft ,
and to yield obedience to the authorities .
Besides these laws ,
however ,
they were required to abstain from work on the Sabbath ,
and to refrain from the use of leavened bread during the time of the Passover .
The "
proselytes of righteousness ",
religious or devout proselytes (
Acts 13 :
43 ),
were bound to all the doctrines and precepts of the Jewish economy ,
and were members of the synagogue in full communion .
The name "
proselyte "
occurs in the New Testament only in Matt .
23 :
15 ;
Acts 2 :
10 ;
6 :
5 ;
13 :
43 .
The name by which they are commonly designated is that of "
devout men ,"
or men "
fearing God "
or "
worshipping God ."
