Mass immigration didn’t exist back then and all the similar situations in the Bible are in a negative light or genocidal.

Still the man they claim to follow welcomed the outsider. And some sects don’t even care or consider much of the Old Testament as much as they emphasize the New.

Pedantic backstory info: Samaritan with a capital "S", because it was an ethnic group of people (IIRC, an unpopular splinter sect of Judaism).
