23 1 "He whose testicles are crushed or whose male member is cut off shall not enter the assembly of Yahweh.
23 2 "No bastard shall enter the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of Yahweh.
23 3 "No Ammonite or Moabite shall enter the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation none belonging to them shall enter the assembly of Yahweh for ever; 23 4 because they did not meet you with bread and with water on the way, when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you. 23 5 Nevertheless Yahweh your God would not hearken to Balaam; but Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because Yahweh your God loved you. 23 6 You shall not seek their peace or their prosperity all your days for ever.
23 7 "You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a sojourner in his land. 23 8 The children of the third generation that are born to them may enter the assembly of Yahweh.
