like the resident-alien

Morphological NotesPreposition כַ־ ("like/as") prefixed to a masculine singular absolute noun גֵּר; the definite sense is implied in context though formally absolute. No pronominal suffix; singular masculine noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun גֵּר (masculine singular absolute) derives from the root גור, "to sojourn" or "reside temporarily." The prefixed כַ־ means "like" or "as," yielding "like the resident-alien." "Resident-alien" preserves the root sense of one who dwells temporarily among a people not his own, while reflecting the masculine singular form.
