1 None that is gelded, or hath his privy members cut off, shall come into the congregation of the LORD.
2 And he that is a whore's child shall not come in the congregation of the LORD; no, in the tenth generation he shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
3 The Ammonites and the Moabites shall not come into the congregation of the LORD; no, not in the tenth generation, no they shall never come in to the congregation of the LORD,
4 because they met you not with bread and water in the way when ye came out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor, the interpreter of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
5 Nevertheless, the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam, but turned the curse to a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
6 Thou shalt never, therefore, seek that which is prosperous or good for them all thy days forever.
7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite, for he is thy brother: neither shalt thou abhor an Egyptian, because thou wast a stranger in his land.
8 The children that are begotten of them shall come into the congregation of the LORD in the third generation.
9 When thou goest out with the host against thine enemies, keep thee from all wickedness; for the Lord is among you.
10 If there be any man that is unclean by the reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, let him go out of the host and not come in again,
11 until he have washed himself with water before the evening: and then when the sun is down, let him come into the host again.
12 Thou shalt have a place without the host whither thou shalt resort to,
13 and thou shalt have a sharp point at the end of thy weapon: and when thou wilt ease thyself, dig therewith and turn and cover that which is departed from thee.
14 For the LORD thy God walketh in thine host, to rid thee and to set thine enemies before thee. Let thine host be pure that he see no unclean thing among you and turn from you.
15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee.
16 Let him dwell with thee, even among you in what place he himself liketh best, in one of thy cities where it is good for him, and vex him not.
17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor whorekeeper of the sons of Israel.
18 Thou shalt neither bring the hire of an whore nor the price of a dog into the house of the LORD thy God, in no manner of vow: for even both of them are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
19 Thou shalt be no usurer unto thy brother, neither in money nor in food, nor in any manner thing that is lent upon usury.
20 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury, but not unto thy brother, that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to conquer it.
21 When thou hast vowed a vow unto the LORD thy God, see thou be not slack to pay it. For he will surely require it of thee, and it shall be sin unto thee.
22 If thou shalt leave vowing, it shall be no sin unto thee:
23 but that which is once gone out of thy lips, thou must keep and do, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God a freewill offering which thou hast spoken with thy mouth.
24 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, thou mayest eat grapes thy bellyful at thine own pleasure: but thou shalt put none in thy bag.
25 When thou goest into thy neighbour's corn, thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand, but thou mayest not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's corn.
