EXOD166 Refuting the charges of misanthropy leveled against Judaism, Josephus proudly points to the equitable treatment of aliens enjoined by the Torah. " all who desire to come and live under the same laws with us, he [Moses] gives a gracious welcome, holding that it is not family ties alone which constitute relationship, but agreement in principles of conduct. On the other hand, it was not his pleasure that casual visitors should be admitted to the intimacies of our daily life." (Reinach suggest that this alludes to the exclusion of aliens from Passover, this verse.) Josephus continues: "The duty of sharing with others was inculcated by our legislator in other matters. We must furnish fire, water, food, to all who ask for them, point out the road, not leave a corpse unburied, show consideration even to declared enemies. He does not allow us to burn up their country or to cut down the fruit trees, and forbids even the spoiling of fallen combatants; he has taken measures to prevent outrage to prisoners of war, especially women. So thorough a lesson has he given us in gentleness and humanity that he does not overlook even the brute beasts, authorizing their use only in accordance with the law, and forbidding all other employment of them." [Against Apion, II, 28-29, tr. Thackeray, Vol. I p. 377-379].
