Deuteronomy 23:2-9

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. 31NoH3808 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, 42becauseH5921H1697H834 they did not meetH6923 you with 3foodH3899 and waterH4325 on the wayH1870 when you cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714, and becauseH834 they hiredH7936 againstH5921 you 4BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 from PethorH6604 of 5MesopotamiaH763, to curseH7043 you. 5Nevertheless, the LordH3068 your GodH430 was not willingH14 to listenH8085 to BalaamH1109, but the LordH3068 your GodH430 6turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293 for you becauseH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 7lovesH157 you. 68You shall neverH3808H5769 seekH1875 their peaceH7965 or their prosperityH2899 allH3605 your daysH3117.

7“You shall not detestH8581 an EdomiteH130, for 9he is your brotherH251; you shall not detestH8581 an EgyptianH4713, 10becauseH3588 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 11an armyH4264 againstH5921 your enemiesH340, you shall keepH8104 yourself from everyH3605 evilH7451 thingH1697.
