Deuteronomy 23:4-7
41becauseH5921H1697H834 they did not meetH6923 you with 2foodH3899 and waterH4325 on the wayH1870 when you cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, and becauseH834 they hiredH7936 againstH5921 you 3BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 from PethorH6604 of 4MesopotamiaH763, to curseH7043 you. 5Nevertheless, the LordH3068 your GodH430 was unwillingH3808H14 to listenH8085 to BalaamH1109, but the LordH3068 your GodH430 5turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293 for you becauseH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 6lovesH157 you. 67You shall neverH3808H5769 seekH1875 their peaceH7965 or their prosperityH2899 allH3605 your daysH3117.
7“You shall not loatheH8581 an 8EdomiteH130, for 9he is your brotherH251; you shall not loatheH8581 an EgyptianH4713, 10becauseH3588 you were a strangerH1616 in his landH776.
