A Glimpse of Grace for Gentiles

Commentators view this verse as a significant 'dawn of grace' for non-Israelites. By establishing that a converted 'stranger' could participate in the Passover under the same law as a native, God was foreshadowing the New Testament reality where Gentiles would be fully welcomed into His family through faith, becoming 'fellow citizens with the saints' (Ephesians 2:19).
