Deuteronomy 23

1He that is a eunuch, whether he have been crushed or cut, shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah. 2A bastard shall not comeH935 into the congregation of Jehovah; even his tenth generation shall not comeH935 into the congregation of Jehovah. 3An Ammonite or Moabite shall not comeH935 into the congregation of Jehovah; even their tenthH6224 generationH1755 shall not comeH935 into the congregation of Jehovah for ever; 4because they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye cameH935 forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor, of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. 5But Jehovah thy 1God would not listen to BalaamH1109; and Jehovah thy 2God turned the curseH7043 into blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy 3God loved thee. 6Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever. 7Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother. Thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a sojourner in his land. 8Children that are born to them shall come into the congregation of Jehovah in the third generation. 9WhenH834 thou goest forthH3205 into camp against thine enemies, then keep thee from every evil thing. 10If there be with thee a man that is not clean from what hath happened in the night, then shall he goH3318 outside the campH4264; he shall not comeH3318 inside the campH4264; 11and it shall beH1961, towards evening, he shall bathe in water: and at the goingH3318 down of the sun he may comeH935 inside the campH4264. 12Thou shalt have a place also outside the campH4264, and shalt goH935 forth thither. 13And thou shalt have a shovel amongst thy weapons, and it shall beH1961, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which is come from thee. 14For Jehovah thy 4God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; and thy camp shall beH1961 holy, that he see nothing unseemly with thee, and turnH7725 awayH7725 from thee. 15Thou shalt not hand over to his master a bondman that hath escaped from his master unto thee: 16he shall dwell with thee, even in thy midst, in the place that he shall choose in one of thy gates, whereH834 it seemeth good to him; thou shalt not oppress him. 17There shall be no prostitute amongst the daughters of Israel, nor any Sodomite amongst the sons of Israel. 18Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy 5God for any vow; for even both these are an abomination to Jehovah thy 6God. 19Thou shalt take no interest of thy brother, interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that can be lent upon interest: 20of a foreigner thou mayest take interestH5392, but of thy brotherH251 thou shalt not take interestH5392; that Jehovah thy 7God may bless thee in all the business of thy hand in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 21WhenH834 thou vowest a vow to Jehovah thy 8GodH430, thou shalt not delay to perform it; for Jehovah thy 9GodH430 will certainly require it of thee, and it shall be sin in thee. 22But if thou forbear to vowH5088, it shall beH1961 no sinH2399 in thee. 23What isH1961 gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and do, as thou hast vowedH5087 to Jehovah thy 10God, the voluntary-offering that thou hast promised with thy mouth. 24WhenH834 thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, thou mayest eat grapes thy fill, according to thy desire, but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel. 25When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not wave the sickle against thy neighbour's standing corn.
