1. A resident person living among others · dominant

   The singular and plural noun forms identify people present "with you" or "among" a community in legal clauses. In Leviticus 25:6 the APB renders a person included in the land's food provision as "the sojourner who sojourns with you," while Leviticus 25:35 calls for support so that such a person may live with the addressee; Exodus 12:45 and Numbers 35:15 place the person within rules about eating and access to refuge. The same designation is used personally in Genesis 23:4 and 1 Chronicles 29:15, where the APB renders residence among others and before God.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the occurrences, the APB commonly uses "sojourner" and also uses "resident alien" or "stranger" in surrounding paired expressions. These renderings present the verse-level context rather than a fixed word-for-word equivalent; in Psalm 39:13 the supplied APB does not plainly isolate the term's contribution.
