Among strangers. Being a people separated unto God, Israel was confronted with the question of how to behave towards the stranger. The Lord who separated the Israelites from the Gentiles instructed Israel in this very matter. Deuteronomy 10:17-19 states, For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, mighty and awesome, who does not show favoritism, nor take bribes. He does justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. You shall therefore love the stranger: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

The God of Israel was teaching Israel that Gentiles were not excluded from His love and salvation. Through examples like Ruth, Rahab, and the story of Jonah, God demonstrated that His grace and mercy extended to all people, regardless of their background or nationality. This taught Israel to show compassion and welcome foreigners into their community.

Can a gentile converted to Judaism migrate to Israel?

There is debate concerning this issue within both Israel and the Diaspora. The current Right of Return Law in Israel holds that any Orthodox conversion performed inside or outside of the State of Israel is sufficient to make the Convert eligible for Right of Return. Any non-Orthodox conversion performed outside of the State of Israel is insufficient to make the Convert eligible. Of course, any person (aside from certain select populations) can immigrate to Israel according to the normal means of attaining residency and gaining citizenship the "long-way", so the migration is not as much of an issue as the instant citizenship.

How could Enoch be a gentile if he was a decendant of Adam?

The distinction between Jews and Gentiles was meaningless until the time of Abraham, at the earliest. Even then, it is problematic because the definition of Gentile eventually came to include the children of Ishmael. The term really only comes into its own when contrasting the Children of Israel to the other peoples of the world.
