Who is "ve'Gam mi'Benei ha'Toshavim" coming to include?

1.

Rashi: It includes the children of men from the surrounding nations who married Cana'ani women, 1 since the child's status follows that of his father. 2

2.

Targum Onkelos and Yonasan: It includes uncircumcised sojourners who come from other countries to live in Eretz Yisrael.

Targum Yonasan learns this from the next word "u'mi'Mishpachtam" (See Na'ar Yonasan).
