Exegesis
It then employs two coordinated prepositional phrases: mib-bə-nê yiś-rā-ʾēl {מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | mib-bə-nê yiś-rā-ʾēl} ‘from the sons of Israel’ and wə-min-hag-gēr hag-gār {וּמִן־הַגֵּר הַגָּר | wə-min-hag-gēr hag-gār} ‘and from the resident alien who sojourns’, thereby extending the statute beyond ethnic Israel.
In context — Leviticus 17:13
And any man of the sons of Israel, or from the stranger who sojourns among them, who hunts prey—animal or bird—that may be eaten, shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust .
