Deuteronomy 23:2-9

2NoH3808 one of illegitimate birthH4464 may enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LORDH3068, nor may any of his descendantsH3808, evenH1571 to the tenthH6224 generationH1755.

3NoH3808 AmmoniteH5984 or MoabiteH4125 or any of their descendantsH3808 may enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LORDH3068, evenH1571 to the tenthH6224 generationH1755. 4ForH5921H1697 they did notH3808 meetH6923 you with foodH3899 and waterH4325 on your wayH1870 out ofH3318 EgyptH4714, and they hiredH7936 BalaamH1109 sonH1121 of BeorH1160 from PethorH6604 in Aram-naharaimH7631 to curse youH7043. 5Yet the LORDH3068 your GodH430 wouldH14 notH3808 listenH8085 toH413 BalaamH1109, and the LORDH3068 your GodH430 turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293 for you, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 loves youH157. 6You are not toH3808 seekH1875 peaceH7965 or prosperity from themH2896 as long as you liveH3605H3117H5769.

7Do notH3808 despiseH8581 an EdomiteH130, forH3588 heH1931 is your brotherH251. Do notH3808 despiseH8581 an EgyptianH4713, becauseH3588 you livedH1961 as a foreignerH1616 in his landH776. 8The thirdH7992 generationH1755 of childrenH1121 bornH3205 to them may enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LORDH3068.

9WhenH3588 you are encampedH3318H4264 againstH5921 your enemiesH341, then you shall keep yourselfH8104 from everyH3605 wickedH7451 thingH1697.
