Deuteronomy 23:1-14

1“1No one who is 2emasculated or has his male organ cut off may enter the assembly of the Lord. 2No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the Lord; none of his descendants, even to the tenth generation, may enter the assembly of the Lord. 33No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the Lord; none of their descendants, even to the tenth generation, may ever enter the assembly of the Lord, 44because they did not meet you with 5food and water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you 6Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of 7Mesopotamia, to curse you. 5Nevertheless, the Lord your God was unwilling to listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God 8turned the curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God 9loves you. 610You shall never seek their peace or their prosperity all your days.

7“You shall not loathe an 11Edomite, for 12he is your brother; you shall not loathe an Egyptian, 13because you were a stranger in his land. 8The sons of the third generation who are born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord.

9“When you go out as 14an army against your enemies, you shall be on guard against every evil thing.

10“15If there is among you any man who is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, then he must go outside the camp; he may not 16reenter the camp. 11But when evening approaches, he shall bathe himself with water, and at sundown he may 17reenter the camp.

12“You shall also have a place allocated outside the camp, so that you may go out there to relieve yourself, 13and you shall have a 18spade among your tools, and it shall be when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and shall turn and cover up your excrement. 14Since 19the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to save you and to 20defeat your enemies before you, your camp must be 21holy; so He must not see 22anything indecent among you 23or He will turn away from you.
