The aggregation of the foreigner to the community itself among the tribes of Paleolithic hunter gatherers, consists of a rite of reciprocal recognition and acceptance between the protector divinity of the tribe and the foreigner. This religious sense of the rite is maintained in Neolithic and later societies. In the Hebrew people the foreigner is integrated when he accepts the supreme values of the community through the corresponding rites. The same happens when the community integrates all known peoples, from the constitutio Antoniniana of Caracalla from 212 until the constitution of the League of Nations of 1919. The supreme form of hospitality is to burial the dead, which is practiced with foreigners in a rather general way.
