Deuteronomy 23:4

Compare all

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.
