Studie

       

7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire of me by him, I Jehovah will answer him by myself;

Sons of the Lord

  

People who turn directly to the Lord are His sons, because they are born anew from Him, which is why He called his disciples sons or children in John 12:36, 13:33, and 21:5.

8007. 'And when a sojourner sojourns with you' means those who have received instruction in the Church's truth and good, and have accepted them. This is clear from the meaning of 'a sojourner' as those who received instruction in and accepted the statutes and laws of the Church, dealt with in 2025, 4444, 7908. The words 'when he sojourns with you' are used because 'sojourning' means receiving instruction and living, 1463, 3672, so that' sojourners sojourning with them' means not only those who received instruction in the Church's truth and good and accepted them, but also those who led lives in keeping with them.
