Deuteronomy 23:4-9

New Life Version

⁴ because they did not meet you with food and water on your way from Egypt, and they paid Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia to curse you. ⁵ But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam. Instead He changed the curse into good for you, because the Lord your God loves you. ⁶ Do nothing for their peace or their well-being all your days.

⁷ “Do not hate an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not hate an Egyptian. For you were a stranger in his land. ⁸ Their great-grandchildren may go into the meeting of the Lord.

The Camp Is to Be Clean

⁹ “When you go as an army against those who hate you, keep yourself away from every sinful thing.
