Deuteronomy 23:1-8 - Exclusion And Inclusion

¹ No man whose private parts have been wounded or cut off may come into the meeting of the Lord's people. ² One whose father and mother are not married may not come into the meeting of the Lord's people, or any of his family to the tenth generation. ³ No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their people to the tenth generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people: ⁴ Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you ⁵ But the Lord your God would not give ear to Balaam, but let the curse be changed into a blessing to you, because of his love for you. ⁶ Do nothing for their peace or well-being for ever. ⁷ But have no hate for an Edomite, because he is your brother, or for an Egyptian, for you were living in his land. ⁸ Their children in the third generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
