1  He that is a eunuch, whether he have been crushed or cut, shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah. 2  A bastard shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even his tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah. 3  An Ammonite or Moabite shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even their tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah for ever; 4  because they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor, of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. 5  But Jehovah thy God would not listen to Balaam; and Jehovah thy God turned the curse into blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee. 6  Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever. 7  Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother. Thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a sojourner in his land. 8  Children that are born to them shall come into the congregation of Jehovah in the third generation.

9  When thou goest forth into camp against thine enemies, then keep thee from every evil thing.
