Deuteronomy 23 ©
1 What persons may not enter into the congregation. 3 An Ammonite or Moabite are excluded to the tenth generation; 7 but an Edomite or Egyptian may be admitted in the third. 9 Every wicked thing to be avoided in the host. 10 An unclean person must remove out of the camp. 12 Cleanliness to be attended to therein because of God's presence. 15 Of the fugitive servant. 17 Whoredom and sodomy not to be committed in Israel. 18 Of abominable sacrifices. 19 Of usury. 21 Of vows. 24 Of trespasses.
An cAmmonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
Because dthey met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and ebecause they fhired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
Thou ishalt not seek their peace nor their 1prosperity all thy days for ever.
¶When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then mkeep thee from every wicked thing.
¶Thou shalt have qa place also *without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth *abroad:
And thou shalt have a *paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou 3wilt ease thyself *abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and rcover that which cometh from thee:
¶Thou shalt tnot deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
¶There shall be no 6whore of vthe daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Thou shalt not bring the whire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Unto ya stranger thou mayest lend upon *usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: zthat the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
That which is gone out of thy lips cthou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
