Deuteronomy 23:4-9
New American Standard Bible

4 (A)because they did not meet you with [a]food and water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you (B)Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of [b]Mesopotamia, to curse you. 5 Nevertheless, the Lord your God was unwilling to listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God (C)turned the curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God (D)loves you. 6 (E)You shall never seek their peace or their prosperity all your days.

7 “You shall not loathe an [c]Edomite, for (F)he is your brother; you shall not loathe an Egyptian, (G)because you were a stranger in his land. 8 The sons of the third generation who are born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord.

9 “When you go out as [d]an army against your enemies, you shall be on guard against every evil thing.

Deuteronomy 23:4-9
New International Version

4 For they did not come to meet you with bread and water(A) on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam(B) son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim[a](C) to pronounce a curse on you.(D) 5 However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse(E) into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves(F) you. 6 Do not seek a treaty(G) of friendship with them as long as you live.(H)

7 Do not despise an Edomite,(I) for the Edomites are related to you.(J) Do not despise an Egyptian, because you resided as foreigners in their country.(K) 8 The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord.

Uncleanness in the Camp

9 When you are encamped against your enemies, keep away from everything impure.(L)
