Deuteronomy 23:4-7
41because they did not meet you with 2food and water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you 3Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of 4Mesopotamia, to curse you. 5Nevertheless, the Lord your God was not willing to listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God 5turned the curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God 6loves you. 67You shall never seek their peace or their prosperity all your days.
7“You shall not detest an Edomite, for 8he is your brother; you shall not detest an Egyptian, 9because you were an alien in his land.
