The word translated neighbor in Exodus 3:22 is the female form of שָׁכֵן. Its verb form means to dwell (see In John 1:14 what does ἐσκήνωσεν mean?). Thus, it has the idea of one living nearby. While neighbor is רֵעַ in the "love your neighbor" passage (Leviticus 19:18). This word more often means friend and is the most common word for friend in the Tanakh (Hebrew Old Testament). See Given the dynamics of the words πλησίον and רֵעַ, what did Jesus illustrate with the Good Samaritan?)
