An alien is a person who is of another family, race, or nation than the people among whom he or she lives.
In the [[Bible]], [[Abraham]] was an alien among the [[Hittites]] in the land of [[Canaan]]. The Hittites showed him kindness, as the Bible time and again indicates natives of a country are expected to treat aliens. In return, aliens were expected to follow the same laws observed by natives of the country.
