proselyte
n
:
a
new
convert
;
especially
a
gentile
converted
to
Judaism
From:
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Proselyte
is
used
in
the
LXX
.
for
"
stranger
" (1
Chr
. 22:2), i.e.,
a
comer
to
Palestine
;
a
sojourner
in
the
land
(
Ex
. 12:48; 20:10; 22:21),
and
in
the
New
Testament
for
a
convert
to
Judaism
.
There
were
such
converts
from
early
times
(
Isa
. 56:3;
Neh
. 10:28;
Esther
8:17).
The
law
of
Moses
made
specific
regulations
regarding
the
admission
into
the
Jewish
church
of
such
as
were
not
born
Israelites
(
Ex
. 20:10; 23:12; 12:19, 48;
Deut
. 5:14; 16:11, 14,
etc
.).
The
Kenites
,
the
Gibeonites
,
the
Cherethites
,
and
the
Pelethites
were
thus
admitted
to
the
privileges
of
Israelites
.
Thus
also
we
hear
of
individual
proselytes
who
rose
to
positions
of
prominence
in
Israel
,
as
of
Doeg
the
Edomite
,
Uriah
the
Hittite
,
Araunah
the
Jebusite
,
Zelek
the
Ammonite
,
Ithmah
and
Ebedmelech
the
Ethiopians
.
In
the
time
of
Solomon
there
were
one
hundred
and
fifty-three
thousand
six
hundred
strangers
in
the
land
of
Israel
(1
Chr
.
22:2; 2
Chr
. 2:17, 18).
And
the
prophets
speak
of
the
time
as
coming
when
the
strangers
shall
share
in
all
the
privileges
of
Israel
(
Ezek
. 47:22;
Isa
. 2:2; 11:10; 56:3-6;
Micah
4:1).
Accordingly
,
in
New
Testament
times
,
we
read
of
proselytes
in
the
synagogues
, (
Acts
10:2, 7; 13:42, 43, 50; 17:4; 18:7;
Luke
7:5).
The
"
religious
proselytes
"
here
spoken
of
were
proselytes
of
righteousness
,
as
distinguished
from
proselytes
of
the
gate
.
The
distinction
between
"
proselytes
of
the
gate
" (
Ex
. 20:10)
and
"
proselytes
of
righteousness
"
originated
only
with
the
rabbis
.
According
to
them
,
the
"
proselytes
of
the
gate
" (
half
proselytes
)
were
not
required
to
be
circumcised
nor
to
comply
with
the
Mosaic
ceremonial
law
.
They
were
bound
only
to
conform
to
the
so-called
seven
precepts
of
Noah
,
viz
.,
to
abstain
from
idolatry
,
blasphemy
,
bloodshed
,
uncleaness
,
the
eating
of
blood
,
theft
,
and
to
yield
obedience
to
the
authorities
.
Besides
these
laws
,
however
,
they
were
required
to
abstain
from
work
on
the
Sabbath
,
and
to
refrain
from
the
use
of
leavened
bread
during
the
time
of
the
Passover
.
The
"
proselytes
of
righteousness
",
religious
or
devout
proselytes
(
Acts
13:43),
were
bound
to
all
the
doctrines
and
precepts
of
the
Jewish
economy
,
and
were
members
of
the
synagogue
in
full
communion
.
The
name
"
proselyte
"
occurs
in
the
New
Testament
only
in
Matt
.
23:15;
Acts
2:10; 6:5; 13:43.
The
name
by
which
they
are
commonly
designated
is
that
of
"
devout
men
,"
or
men
"
fearing
God
"
or
"
worshipping
God
."
