EXOD167 Do not give the meat of the Pesach offering to non-Jews, even those who accept some of the mitzvos or have begun the process of conversion. Do not give of the Pesach offering to any non-Jew, even to a תושב (toshav) or a שוכר (sochir). [A toshav is a non-Jew who accepted upon himself not to serve idols (but does not abstain from eating the meat of animals that died without ritual slaughter). A sochir is a non-Jew who has undergone circumcision for the sake of converting to Judaism but still lacks ritual immersion in a kosher mikveh under the supervision of a beis din.] To recall the Exodus from Egypt. Because the Pesach offering commemorates our emancipation from slavery, as well as our entering a covenant with Hashem, it is fitting that only full-fledged Jews partake of the offering. Non-Jews, even those who are in the process of converting but have not yet entered the covenant completely, are excluded.
