DE-23:1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy
member cut off,
shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
DE-23:2 A 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.
DE-23:3 An 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:
DE-23:4 Because 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.
DE-23:5 Nevertheless 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.
DE-23:6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity
all thy days for
ever.
DE-23:7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he [is] thy
brother: thou shalt
not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
DE-23:8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into
the
congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
DE-23:9 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then
keep thee from
every wicked thing.
DE-23:10 If 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:
DE-23:11 But 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].
DE-23:12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither
thou shalt go
forth abroad:
DE-23:13 And 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:
DE-23:14 For 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.
DE-23:15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant
which is escaped
from his master unto thee:
DE-23:16 He 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.
DE-23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel,
nor a sodomite
of the sons of Israel.
DE-23:18 Thou 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.
DE-23:19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury
of money, usury
of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
DE-23:20 Unto 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.
DE-23:21 When 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.
DE-23:22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin
in thee.
DE-23:23 That 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.
DE-23:24 When 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.
DE-23:25 When 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.
