From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Neither let the son of the stranger -The foreigner who shall become a proselyte to the true religion. That hath joined himself -That has embraced the true faith, and become a worshipper of the true God. It is evidently implied here that there would be such proselytes, and that the true religion would be extended so as to include and embrace them. The idea is, that they should be admitted to the same privileges with those who had been long recognized as the people of God. The Lord hath utterly separated -Let him not esteem himself to be an outcast, or cut off from the privileges of the people of God.
