Exegesis

The phrase mikol ben-nechar {מִכֹּל בֶּן־נֵכָר | mi-kōl ben-nê-ḵār} ‘from every son of a foreigner’ plus the relative clause asher lo mizzar'akha hu {אֲשֶׁר לֹא מִזַּרְעֲךָ הֽוּא | ʾă-šer lō miz-zar-ʿă-ḵā hû} ‘who is not from your descendants’ narrows inclusion to non-native members. English rendering distributes modifiers into clear temporal, causal, and relative clauses to preserve the detailed legal scope while maintaining readability.
