New American Standard Bible 2020

Persons Excluded from the Assembly

1“1NoH3808 oneH6481 who is 2emasculatedH1795H6481 or has his maleH8212 organH8212 cutH3772 offH3772 may enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068. 2NoH3808 oneH4464 ofH4464 illegitimateH4464 birthH4464 may enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068; noneH3808 of his descendants, evenH1571 to the tenthH6224 generationH1755, may enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068. 33NoH3808 AmmoniteH5984 or MoabiteH4125 may enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068; noneH3808 of their descendants, evenH1571 to the tenthH6224 generationH1755, may everH5704H5769 enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068, 44becauseH5921H1697H834 they did not meetH6923 you with 5foodH3899 and waterH4325 on the wayH1870 when you cameH3318 outH3318 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 unwillingH3808H14 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 loatheH8581 an 11EdomiteH130, for 12he is your brotherH251; you shall not loatheH8581 an EgyptianH4713, 13becauseH3588 you were a strangerH1616 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 outH3318 as 14an armyH4264 againstH5921 your enemiesH340, you shall be on guardH8104 againstH4480 everyH3605 evilH7451 thingH1697.

10“15IfH3588 there is among you anyH376 manH376 whoH834 is uncleanH3808H2889 becauseH4480 of a nocturnalH3915 emissionH7137, then he must goH3318 outsideH413H4480H2351 the campH4264; he may not 16reenterH935H8432 the campH4264. 11But when eveningH6153 approachesH6437, he shall batheH7364 himself with waterH4325, and at sundownH8121H935 he may 17reenterH935H8432 the campH4264.

12“You shall also haveH1961 a placeH3027 allocated outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264, so that you may goH3318 outH3318 thereH8033 to relieve yourself, 13and you shall haveH1961 a 18spadeH3489 amongH5921 your toolsH240, and it shall be when you sitH3427 downH3427 outsideH2351, you shall digH2658 with it and shall turnH7725 and coverH3680 upH3680 your excrementH6627. 14SinceH3588 19the LordH3068 your GodH430 walksH1980 in the midstH7130 of your campH4264 to saveH5337 you and to 20defeatH5414 your enemiesH340 beforeH6440 you, your campH4264 must be 21holyH6918; so 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 that he choosesH977 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 earningsH868 of a prostituteH2181 or the moneyH4242 for a 3031dogH3611 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 as payment for anyH3605 vowedH5088 offeringH5088, becauseH3588 bothH1571H8147 of these are an abominationH8441 to the LordH3068 your GodH430.

19“32You are not to chargeH5391 interestH5391 to your countrymenH251: interestH5392 on moneyH3701, foodH400, or anythingH3605H1697 that may be loanedH5391 onH5391 interestH5391. 2033You may chargeH5391 interestH5391 to a foreignerH5237, but to your countrymenH251 you shall not chargeH5391 interestH5391, soH4616 thatH4616 34the LordH3068 your GodH430 may blessH1288 you in allH3605 35that you undertakeH3027H4916 in the landH776 whichH834 you are about to enterH935 to 36possessH3423.

21“37WhenH3588 you makeH5087 a vowH5088 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, you shall not delayH309 to payH7999 it, for the LordH3068 your GodH430 will certainlyH1875 requireH1875 it of you, and it will be a sinH2399 38for you. 22However, ifH3588 you refrainH2308 from makingH5087 vowsH5087, it will not be a sinH2399 39for you. 23You shall beH8104 carefulH8104 and performH6213 whatH4161 goesH4161 outH4161 of your lipsH8193, sinceH3512 inH3512 factH3512 you have vowedH5087 a 40voluntaryH5071 offeringH5071 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, whateverH834 you have 41promisedH1696.

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

25“44WhenH3588 you enterH935 your neighbor’sH7453 standingH7054 grainH7054, you may pluckH6998 the headsH4425 ofH4425 grainH4425 with your handH3027, but you are not to 45useH5130 a sickleH2770 on your neighbor’sH7453 standingH7054 grainH7054.
