Context of Deuteronomy 23:9
7You are never to seek their shalom or welfare all your days. 8“You are not to detest an Edomite, for he is your brother. You are not to detest an Egyptian, for you were an outsider in his land. The children born to them—the third generation—may enter the community of Adonai. 10“When you go out as an army camp against your enemies, you are to guard yourself from every evil thing. 11If there is among you a man who is not clean from a nighttime emission, he is to go outside the camp—he may not reenter the camp.
