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 unwilling 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 loathe an 8Edomite, for 9he is your brother; you shall not loathe an Egyptian, 10because you were a stranger in his land.
