1On that dayH3117 the BookH5612 of MosesH4872 was 1readH7121 aloudH7121 2as the peopleH5971 listenedH241; and there was foundH4672 writtenH3789 in it that 3noH3808 AmmoniteH5984 or MoabiteH4125 was everH5769 to enterH935 the assemblyH6951 of GodH430, 2becauseH3588 they did not meetH6923 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 with breadH3899 and waterH4325, but 4hiredH7936 BalaamH1109 againstH5921 them to curseH7043 them. However, 5our GodH430 turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293. 3So when they heardH8085 the LawH8451, 6they excludedH914 7allH3605 foreignersH6154 from IsraelH3478.
