    The most straightforward one is from Leviticus (one of the books that has a bunch of laws for the Israelites, including stuff like “don’t wear mixed fabrics” and rules that evolved into kosher rules, along with stuff that’s cited for “don’t be gay” (though a lot of that comes from Paul’s letters too)):

    Lev 19:33-34 “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
