New American Standard Bible 1995

Persons Excluded from the Assembly

1“1NoH3808 oneH6481 who is 2emasculatedH1795H6481 or has his maleH8212 organH8212 cutH3772 offH3772 shall enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068. 2NoH3808 oneH4464 of illegitimateH4464 birthH4464 shall enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068; noneH3808 of his descendants, evenH1571 to the tenthH6224 generationH1755, shall enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068. 33NoH3808 AmmoniteH5984 or MoabiteH4125 shall enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068; noneH3808 of their descendants, evenH1571 to the tenthH6224 generationH1755, shall everH5769 enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068, 44becauseH5921H1697H834 they did not meetH6923 you with 5foodH3899 and waterH4325 on the wayH1870 when you cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714, and becauseH834 they hiredH7936 againstH5921 you 6BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 from PethorH6604 of 7MesopotamiaH763, to curseH7043 you. 5Nevertheless, the LordH3068 your GodH430 was not willingH14 to listenH8085 to BalaamH1109, but the LordH3068 your GodH430 8turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293 for you becauseH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 9lovesH157 you. 610You shall neverH3808H5769 seekH1875 their peaceH7965 or their prosperityH2899 allH3605 your daysH3117.

7“You shall not detestH8581 an EdomiteH130, for 11he is your brotherH251; you shall not detestH8581 an EgyptianH4713, 12becauseH3588 you were an alienH1616 in his landH776. 8The sonsH1121 of the thirdH7992 generationH1755 whoH834 are bornH3205 to them may enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068.

9“WhenH3588 you goH3318 out as 13an armyH4264 againstH5921 your enemiesH340, you shall keepH8104 yourself from everyH3605 evilH7451 thingH1697.

10“14IfH3588 there is among you anyH376 manH376 whoH834 is uncleanH3808H2889 becauseH4480 of a nocturnalH3915 emissionH7137, then he must goH3318 outsideH413H4480H2351 the campH4264; he may not 15reenterH935H8432 the campH4264. 11But it shall be when eveningH6153 approachesH6437, he shall batheH7364 himself with waterH4325, and at sundownH8121H935 he may 16reenterH935H8432 the campH4264.

12“You shall also haveH1961 a placeH3027 outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264 and goH3318 out thereH8033, 13and you shall haveH1961 a 17spadeH3489 amongH5921 your toolsH240, and it shall be when you sitH3427 downH3427 outsideH2351, you shall digH2658 with it and shall turnH7725 18to coverH3680 up your excrementH6627. 14SinceH3588 19the LordH3068 your GodH430 walksH1980 in the midstH7130 of your campH4264 to deliverH5337 you and to 20defeatH5414 your enemiesH340 beforeH6440 you, therefore your campH4264 must be 21holyH6918; and He must not seeH7200 22anythingH1697 indecentH6172 among you 23or He will turnH7725 awayH7725 from you.

15“24You shall not handH5462 overH5462 to his masterH113 a slaveH5650 whoH834 has 25escapedH5337 from his masterH113 to you. 16He shall liveH3427 with you in your midstH7130, in the placeH4725 whichH834 he shall chooseH977 in oneH259 of your 26townsH8179 where it pleasesH2896 him; 27you shall not mistreatH3238 him.

17“28NoneH3808 of the daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478 shall be a cultH6945 prostituteH6945, 29norH3808 shall anyH4480 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 be a cultH6945 prostituteH6945. 18You shall not bringH935 the hireH868 of a harlotH2181 or the wagesH4242 of a 3031dogH3611 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 for anyH3605 votiveH5088 offeringH5088, for bothH1571H8147 of these are an abominationH8441 to the LordH3068 your GodH430.

19“32You shall not chargeH5391 interestH5391 to your 33countrymenH251: interestH5392 on moneyH3701, foodH400, or anythingH3605 that may be loanedH5391 at interestH5391. 2034You may chargeH5391 interestH5391 to a foreignerH5237, but to your 35countrymenH251 you shall not chargeH5391 interestH5391, soH4616 that 36the LordH3068 your GodH430 may blessH1288 you in allH3605 37that you undertakeH3027H4916 in the landH776 whichH834 you are about to enterH935 to 38possessH3423.

21“39WhenH3588 you makeH5087 a vowH5088 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, you shall not delayH309 to payH7999 it, for it would be sinH2399 in you, 40and the LordH3068 your GodH430 will surelyH1875 requireH1875 it of you. 22However, ifH3588 you refrainH2308 from vowingH5087, it would not be sinH2399 in you. 23You shall be carefulH8104 to performH6213 whatH4161 goesH4161 out from your lipsH8193, justH3152 as you have voluntarilyH5071 vowedH5087 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, whatH834 you have 41promisedH1696.

24“WhenH3588 you enterH935 your neighbor’sH7453 vineyardH3754, then you may eatH398 grapesH6025 42until you are fullyH7648 satisfiedH7648, but you shall not putH5414 any in your 43basketH3627.

25“44WhenH3588 you enterH935 your neighbor’sH7453 standingH7054 grainH7054, then you may pluckH6998 the headsH4425 with your handH3027, but you shall not wieldH5130 a sickleH2770 in your neighbor’sH7453 standingH7054 grainH7054.
