When a convert joins you, he should
make a Pesach sacrifice to G-d. In
order for him to offer it, all of his family
members should be circumcised. Then
he will be like a native of the land
bringing the sacrifice in it's prescribed
time.
Exodus 12:48 (the Gutnick Chumash)
‫( י ָגוּר‬Ya’gor) contains a vav
In verse 48: we also have ‫“ גֵּר‬ger”
without the ‫ ו‬symbolizing a death to
self considering the ‫ ו‬represents 6
which is the number of man, so death
of self (the Noahide laws) the death
of the physical lusts of the world are
what bring us on the path of the ‫גֵּר‬
which is a path to live for Hashem.

Romans 6:11 (The Aramaic Scriptures)
The word ger, means “to
sojourn” “to travel (in a
spiritual sense)” and is also a
word used for a person who is
converting because they are on
a path to come close to Hashem.
‫ ַהגָּר בְּתוֹ ְככֶם‬,‫ ְו ַלגֵּר‬,‫ י ִ ְהי ֶה ָל ֶאז ְָרח‬,‫תּוֹרה אַחַת‬

The native born Jew and the convert
who joins you share the same law for
all the mitvos of the Torah as well.
Exodus 12:49 (The Gutnick Chumash)
‫ אַחַת‬in this verse is the female
version of echad so “torah achat” is
very interesting phrasing and it
relates to how the Torah is received
at the home where the wife
essentially teaches the Torah.
This verse contains the word
“hagar” for stranger, which also
contains the word “ger” though
hagar is a feminine Hebrew word.
We also know in Sefer HaBereishis
there was the woman Hagar who
bore children for Avraham, Hagar
was “grafted into” the seed of
Avraham.
In verse 49 we see both the feminine and
masculine with ve’la’ger and hagar right after
each other.
So the ger (sojourner) toshav (foreigner) who
wants to be “grafted in” starts with Bnei Noach
(which can mean the house of Noah or the
House of Comfort). The reason it is the “House
of Comfort” is because a conversion to Judaism
is a long process and a major lifestyle choice, it
is almost like being in rehab, a person must be
encouraged they have to be comforted, kid
gloves need to be worn.
