Deuteronomy 23:2-9

2A bastardH4464 shall not enterH935 into the congregationH6951 of YhwhH3068; even to his tenthH6224 generationH1755 shall he not enterH935 into the congregationH6951 of YhwhH3068. 3An AmmoniteH5984 or MoabiteH4125 shall not enterH935 into the congregationH6951 of YhwhH3068; even to their tenthH6224 generationH1755 shall they not enterH935 into the congregationH6951 of YhwhH3068 forH5704 everH5769: 4BecauseH1697 they metH6923 you not with breadH3899 and with waterH4325 in the wayH1870, when ye came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714; and because they hiredH7936 against thee BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 of PethorH6604 of MesopotamiaH763, to curseH7043 thee. 5Nevertheless YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto BalaamH1109; But YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293 unto thee, because YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 lovedH157 thee. 6Thou shalt not seekH1875 their peaceH7965 nor their prosperityH2896 all thy daysH3117 for everH5769.1

7Thou shalt not abhorH8581 an EdomiteH130; for he is thy brotherH251: thou shalt not abhorH8581 an EgyptianH4713; because thou wast a strangerH1616 in his landH776. 8The childrenH1121 that are begottenH3205 of them shall enterH935 into the congregationH6951 of YhwhH3068 in their thirdH7992 generationH1755.

9When the armyH4264 goeth forthH3318 against thine enemiesH341, then keepH8104 thee from every wickedH7451 thingH1697.
