‏ Deuteronomy 23

1 He that is fractured or mutilated in his private parts shall not enter into the assemblyof the Lord. 2 One born of a harlot shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord. 3 The Ammanite and Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even until thetenth generation he shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even for ever: 4 because they met you not with bread and water by the way, when you⌃ went out of Egypt;and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Mesopotamia to curse you. 5 But the Lord your God would not hearken to Balaam; and the Lord your God changed the cursesinto blessings, because the Lord your God loved you. 6 You shall not speak peaceably or profitably to them all your days for ever. 7 You shall not abhor an Edomite, because he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian,because you were a stranger in his land. 8 If sons be born to them, in the third generation they shall enter into the assembly ofthe Lord. 9 And if you should go forth to engage with your enemies, then you shall keep you from everywicked thing. 10 If there should be in you a man who is not clean by reason of his issue by night, thenhe shall go forth out of the camp, and he shall not enter into the camp. 11 And it shall come to pass toward evening he shall wash his body with water, and whenthe sun has gone down, he shall go into the camp. 12 And you shall have a place outside of the camp, and you shall go out there, 13 and you shall have a trowel on your girdle; and it shall come to pass when you wouldrelieve yourself abroad, that you shall dig with it, and shall bring back the earth and cover your nuisance. 14 Because the Lord your God walks in your camp to deliver you, and to give up your enemybefore your face; and your camp shall be holy, and there shall not appear in you a disgraceful thing,andso he shall turn away from you. 15 You shall not deliver a servant to his master, whocoming from his master attaches himself to you. 16 He shall dwell with you, he shall dwell among you where he shall please; you shall notafflict him. 17 There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicatorof the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall notbe an initiated person of the sons of Israel. 18 You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog into the house of theLord your God, for any vow; because even both are an abomination to the Lord your God. 19 You shall not lend to your brother on usury of silver, or usury of meat, or usury ofany thing which you may lend out. 20 You may lend on usury to a stranger, but to your brother you shall not lend on usury;that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works upon the land, into which you are entering to inheritit. 21 And if you will vow a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for theLord your God will surely require it of you, andotherwise it shall be sin in you. 22 But if you should be unwilling to vow, it is not sin in you. 23 You shall observe the words that proceed from between your lips; and as you have voweda gift to the Lord God,so shall you do that which you have spoken with your mouth.
