2 “One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord.
3 a“An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord forever,
4 abecause they did not meet you with bread and water on the road when you came out of Egypt, and bbecause they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
5 Nevertheless the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God aloves you.
6 aYou shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 “You shall not abhor an Edomite, afor he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because byou were an alien in his land.
