1He that is wounded in the stones , or hath his privy member cut off , shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD . 2A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD ; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD . 3An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD ; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever : 4Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way , when ye came forth out of Egypt ; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia , to curse thee. 5Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam ; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee. 6Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever . 7Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite ; for he is thy brother : thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian ; because thou wast a stranger in his land . 8The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation .
Regulations on Ammonites and Moabites
9When the host goeth forth against thine enemies , then keep thee from every wicked thing . 10If there be among you any man , that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night , then shall he go abroad out of the camp , he shall not come within the camp : 11But it shall be, when evening cometh on , he shall wash himself with water : and when the sun is down , he shall come into the camp again . 12Thou shalt have a place also without the camp , whither thou shalt go forth abroad : 13And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon ; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad , thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee: 14For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp , to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy : that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee .
Sanitation and Camp Conduct
15Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee: 16He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates , where it liketh him best : thou shalt not oppress him. 17There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel , nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel . 18Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore , or the price of a dog , into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow : for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God . 19Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother ; usury of money , usury of victuals , usury of any thing that is lent upon usury : 20Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury ; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury : that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 21When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God , thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. 22But if thou shalt forbear to vow , it shall be no sin in thee. 23That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform ; even a freewill offering , according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God , which thou hast promised with thy mouth . 24When thou comest into thy neighbour’s vineyard , then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure ; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel . 25When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour , then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand ; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour’s standing corn .
