48If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.
49The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

By obeying God, we can demonstrate our love and faith in Him, and come together as a community to follow His will. Just like the Israelites, we can show our trust in God by obeying His commands, and He will guide and bless us, as promised in Jeremiah 7:23 and Psalm 119:1-3.

Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 12:50
FURTHER THE .(43-51) This is the ordinance.—These directions, together with those which follow with respect to the sanctification of the firstborn (Exodus 13:1-16), seem to have been given to Moses at Succoth, and were consequently recorded at this point of the narrative. They comprise three principal points:—(1) The exclusion of all uncircumcised persons from the Passover (Exodus 12:43); (2) the admission of all full proselytes (Exodus 12:48-49); and (3) the injunction that no bone of the lamb should be broken (Exodus 12:46).
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 12:50
50. Thus did, &c.] The words seem unsuitable where they stand; for as the passover had been already eaten (v. 28), the injunction given in vv. 43–49 could not possibly now be at once carried out. Perhaps (Di.) they were once preceded by vv. 14–20 (see on these verses).
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 12:50
, Exio 12:43-50. This additional ordinance, defining the character of the participants in the passover feast, now became necessary, since aliens and strangers of various nations attached themselves to Israel. Exodus 12:38.
