No man shall take his father's wife, nor unhele his
father's covering.
Chapter .xxiij.
None that is gelded or hath his privy members cut off, shall come
into the congregation of the LORD. And he that is born of a common
woman shall not come in the congregation of the LORD, no in the
tenth generation he shall not enter into the congregation of the
LORD. 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, 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. Nevertheless the
LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balam, but turned the curse to
a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee. Thou
shalt never therefore seek that which is prosperous or good for
them all thy days for ever. 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. The children that are begotten
of them shall come into the congregation of the LORD in the third
generation. When thou goest out with the host against thine
enemies, keep thee from all wickedness for the LORD is among you.
