Deuteronomy 23:1-8 - Exclusion And Inclusion
1 He who is wounded in the testicles, or has his private part cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of LORD. 2 A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of LORD, even to the tenth generation none of his shall enter into the assembly of LORD. 3 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of LORD, even to the tenth generation none belonging to them shall enter into the assembly of LORD forever, 4 because they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. 5 Nevertheless LORD thy God would not hearken to Balaam, but LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing to thee, because LORD thy God loved thee. 6 Thou shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days forever. 7 Thou shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is thy brother. Thou shall not abhor an Egyptian, because thou were a sojourner in his land. 8 The sons of the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of LORD.
