The verse reads: 'Do not mistreat a foreigner; you know how it feels to be a foreigner, because you were foreigners in Egypt. The Seventh Year and the Seventh Day.' In today's business landscape, this principle encourages us to treat all individuals, regardless of their background, with respect and dignity. By fostering an inclusive environment, businesses can benefit from diverse perspectives and experiences, ultimately leading to greater innovation and success. As we engage with the global marketplace, let us remember the importance of generosity and understanding in our interactions. Thank you for listening to Business Bible News Headlines.
