Exegesis
A parallel recipient is introduced by ve-lager ha-gar {וְלַגֵּ֖ר הַגָּ֣ר | wə-lăg-gêr ha-gaŕ} ‘and to the sojourner’, where the participle hagar denotes ongoing residence, and be-tokham {בְּתוֹכָ֑ם | bə-tō-khaḿ} ‘among them’ emphasizes integration.
In context — Numbers 15:26
And it will be forgiven to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and to the sojourner who sojourns among them, because the entire people acted in error.
